Salmon duckwing

[Amer]

Depends on how genetically close the silvers and golds are to each other. In some breeds, the silvers have no autosomal red (a good example of this would be silver leghorns) and in some the silvers have a lot (like silver cubalayas). And some gold duckwings have a lot of autosomal red (welsummers) and others have less (gold phoenixes).

Welsummers are red duckwing, not gold duckwing. That’s why they have so much red.
Golds always have the gene that allows for autosomal red (which is wildtype), if they don’t, then they are lighter.

Isn’t red duckwing gold duckwing with added enhancers?

Aaah alright. Thank you for clearing that up honestly my brain was hurting with lack of information

So I would be better off not crossing it sounds like or if I do probably silver roo over gold hens?

Are you wanting OEGB colored like Salmon Faverolles?

Naw this is for Kraienkoppe and me trying to figure out how much can I push my luck introducing GFF stock to the american bloodline for body type improvement

But still colored like SF?

Not the plan, there currently three colours of Kraienkoppe in the US that being BBR, Silver and Gold Duckwing. The salmon name for the GFF threw me off and made me worry that I would have to also combat a new colour type in the mist of trying to improve the body.

I'm aiming for more preservation and improvement than creating a new variety at the moment.
