and melanized ducking, in spite of her nice weight, is out of the desired mix?

while the occasional silver byproduct is going to be unavoidable???

Hmmmm....
The silvers can be culled. You can get a mix of silver, & gold of both sexes.

You can test breed her, there's a chance she maybe split for partridge: e+/e^b.

Wildtype e+/e+

Partridge e^b/e^b

but eventually I can breed the silvers out entirely? I'm not seeking a color which is most prevalent on a split silver/gold bird?

I feel like an idiot, I just don't have the language down. and can't "picture" the words. (Aphantasia)

Yes, you can breed out silver. Silvers will have to be culled. Breed from only the golds/reds that are produced.
