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.

how could i test breed to find out if it's the grey gene...?

What 'gray' gene?

isn't there a grey gene...? i have seen some dark grey/slate colored serama... i figured they had the grey gene... her grey markings aren't light grey... they're dark... i was just wondering how to tell if it existed in serama...

There is Smokey, don't know if it exists in Serama but with everything all mixed up in them who knows... If it were me I would mate her to a son, then a son from that back to her again, you should get close to recreating it after 3-4 times and from there you may have a real color to work from and to.

hmm...

well, the only reason i would want to know is to breed it into a couple of OEGB... that's why i'm looking for a true choc- serama too... but everyone claims to have them, but after test breeding, it's fawn... fail...

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.

so, very dilute khaki hen...? but, she's grey... white with grey marks... not fawn dun chocolate blue or anything...

No, I said SPLASH, not khaki. Khaki is a brownish/taupe hue (regardless of how dilute it is or is not). GREY as a hue indicates either blue or lavender. I assume blue from the description.

There is no grey gene.

Smokey is at best EXTREMELY uncommon. Not sure if it has EVER been confirmed outside a laboratory.

BLUE is quite variable in tint/shade, and matches the description of "grey."

It is called platinum. Personally I find it to be a brassy looking blue. I do not find it an attractive colouring, although others do.
