khaki and chocolate color

[Henk69]

I found out this year that wheaten based duns are generally a lot lighter than duckwing (e+) based duns.
Ditto their khaki sports. Khaki darkens with age, but on a duckwing it still remains a very faint color.

Platinum = 1 dose dun + 1 dose blue
Mauve = sexlinked choc + 1 dose blue
Both colors very similar to khaki.

2 dose dun + blue, or 2 dose blue + dun would be white i.m.o.

so... what is this color...?

i think she might be khaki... but she has grey under her flight feathers and tail feathers...

edit: btw, the last pictures are horrible... she is not fawn colored at all... all of those marks are grey... just that the lighting was teh fail, and cell phone pics...

actually... her neck feathers are also grey colored... her tuft and fluff under her white feathers are also dark greyish... i don't know what her parents were... yeah, she's a serama... LOL... can be anything...

but it would be nice to know if she's platinum, muave or something... ¿grey gene?...

There is no way possible to tell what she is without extensive test matings. For her to be platinum her parents wpuld have to be blue and dun, were they? For her to be dun one parent would have to be carrying dun.

Dun is visual, even in one copy. choc required two copies to be visible in a male, and only one is possible in a female, so it is visible then, too.

Looks to me like she is a very dilute splash.

I wonder where E and e^b duns fall in that spectrum.

Putting pics of her parents would tell a lot more than pics of her.

if i knew what her parents were, i wouldn't ask... but she is a serama.... they just don't make any sense... where i got her, there's a pair of two BLACK serama that give 100% chocolate offspring... kate (ocseramas) has them... and i also got this pullet from her... i don't know if she knows... i asked her, but didn't tell me anything...

so i really can't tell... the bad part is that i have her paired off with a silver chocolate rooster... but, if she farts out a blue, i will know for sure she's platinum... wait... won't they just give me white offspring..?

platinum x fawn/dun = white...????

ajsdkflajsdk;asdk;lfjdasl i hate serama genetics...

Until seramas breed true it wil always be a crap shoot with little chance of predictable offspring color.
