The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Can you recommend a site, or even better, a book, that explains what all the letters, symbols, and terms mean?

On this post check post a member asked how would a Wyandotte chick look like that, I immediately confirmed that it was in fact not a Wyandotte but a F1s from a Wyandotte/Black Sex link cross.

How do I know that? It's simple. You build up the bird's phenotype starting from it's e allele(and known phenotype expression as chicks, juvenile and adult) and keep building on top of that(what is possible and not according to known effect, be it empirical or known research)

What do you think this girl is expressing? And what do you think I'd get if I bred her to this boy?

I am acquaintance with the site builder and have the pleasure of learning(while being a member of "The Classroom At The Coop" forums) many things from the smartest poultry geneticist Doctor Ronald Okimoto while he was active on the forum circa mid 2000s. Also know renowned posters from that place(Henk, creator of the chicken calculator), Sonoran Silkies and many more

She is Heterozygous Wheaten with heterozygous pattern gene, if you cross her with that heterozygous Barred blue rooster 50% of the chicks will hatch Blue(50% of them will be blue barred), 50% will be black(50% of them will be black barred) on both genders, the barred males(blue or black) will be heterozygous for barring as well

Thank you very much!!

Thank you very much!!

Also. At least 50% of them will be bearded and with a floppy pea comb. If she is an easter egger that lays blue/green colors at least 50% of the hens should also lay green/blue eggs
