I tried to get it so that I could give you a link htat already had everything selected, but couldn't figure out how to do it.
http://home.hetnet.nl/~h.meijers69/...,S:S/(S)&fgt=E:E/E,Bl:Bl/bl+,S:S/(S),Pg:Pg/Pg has most of it, but I couldn;t figure out how to add split lav (Lav/lav) and get the link to work correctly. (So you will have to go in and select the lavender genes as described below.)
First, realise that just about everything is listed in several languages: just keep looking until you see the English--although it's usually the 2nd
Basically you select each parent bird's variety, either by name or by selection the picture of the desired colour. So for the cock you will select black; for the hen you will select blue laced (as all US blues are laced, or at least supposed to be according to the standard). The pictures only show blue, but the list has blue laced.
Then you can alter any of the specific genes--such as if you know your bird is gold or silver, you can make those selections. If you selected blue from the pictures, go in and select PgPg MlMl and CoCo to change your blue to laced. For both birds you will want to select Lav/lav as they carry (are split to) lavender. Okay--now you have the genotype for your parent birds. It's likely not exact as silkies are usually e^b, but I don't know how to make a black e^b bird on the calculator. My incubator and yard show that my birds know how, though
So, once your parent birds are described, press the button at the bottom right that says Calculate Crossing. The results will show pictorially, with genetic name of the variety and list of genes. The first group shows genesets: the birds with exactly the sme gene combinations. Down below in the 2nd set it will show a more concise breakdown by phenotype.
