EE pullet?

Gorsh. I can do genotypes, but not so great at associating genotypes to phenotypes. Ermmmm......

Well, he looks to be gold, looks like he's got some silver leakage, but silver is dominant over gold, so if he were heterozygous I'd assume it's be more like silver with gold leakage. (Side note, I love his beard. I've never seen a mahogany beard like that before. I do think Firefly from Odder is starting to fill in that way though.)

But s+/s+ just doesn't make sense.

I'll go with S/s+ (Silver/gold split.)

You were correct. Yes, he does have a lot of mahagony.

The only reason I know he is split is because his offspring was silver. But RoostersAreAwesome taught me how to tell.

The gray in her beard seems to be mostly going away. She used to have like a gray interior with red edges, but it seems to now be filling in red. Here's some pics from yesterday.

Oh neat, was he a product of some silver/gold sexlinks? Or he just happened to be split?
