The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

[ColtHandorf]

I don’t really understand the chocolate/mauve coloration.

Blue + Chocolate = Mauve

Both genes are a dilute of Black but act independently so a bird could be Blue, Splash, Chocolate, Mauve or Splash Mauve depending on the number of genes inherited. A Mauve Splash would have two copies of the Blue gene in addition to the Chocolate.

Crossing Lavender into BBS and Chocolate =

But if you insist on doing it, as the Mauve Splash hen carries no Lavender gene treat the male as Black. All the offspring will be split to Lavender though so breeding them to one another or him over his daughters could yield Lavender again.

Chocolate is sex-linked, so I believe you should be able to get Chocolate from a Lavender x Mauve Splash breeding; however, it would be female? I think. There's a reason I don't like working with Mauve despite having it. lol

We'll see what nicalandia says.

Haha, thank you, this helped and makes sense! I'm mostly just curious what would happen, not likely to actually be done...but sex-linked chicks is sure appealing!

Lavender Rooster is E/E, Choc+/Choc+, lav/lav, bl+/bl+
Mauve hen is: E/S, , choc/-, Lav+/Lav+, Bl/bl+

The Cross will be:

Males: 50% E/E, Choc+/choc, Lav+/lav, bl+/bl+ = Black males heterozygous for recessive sex linked chocolate and recessive autosomal lavender

50% E/E, Choc+/choc, Lav+/lav, Bl/bl+ = Blue males heterozygous for recessive sex linked chocolate and recessive autosomal lavender

Females: 50% E/E, Choc+/-, Lav+/lav, bl+/bl+ = Black females hemizygous for dominant sex linked non-chocolate and recessive autosomal lavender

50% E/E, Chock+/-, Lav+/lav, Bl/bl+ = Blue females hemizygous for dominant sex linked non-chocolate and recessive autosomal lavender

What is this girl expressing? She's also going to get bred to the same rooster i posted previously. She's a beardless EE and lays a green egg with white speckles.

Wheaten/Wildtype eWh/e+ Heterozygote with Melanotic and Pattern gene in heterozygous form(Ml/ml+, Pg/pg+)

Wheaten/Wildtype eWh/e+ Heterozygote with Melanotic and Pattern gene in heterozygous form(Ml/ml+, Pg/pg+)

Can I ask what her gene expression would be? Like if I typed it into the Kippenjungle Chicken Calculator what would the eWh/e+ and whatnot read out? I'm sorry about the questions - I'm trying to learn. Thank you for your patience and knowledge!

In-put this on the chicken calculator

Is fibromelanistic skin carried on the Z chromosome? Or is fibromelanistic skin also controlled by Id and id+?

Fibromelanotic is an Autosomal mutation that dates back to 8000 years ago, both Silkies and Cemani have it(the same mutation, they are not allelic but the same). id+ and Id have a profound effect on Fibromelanotic. Id/id+ males have white skin(but perhaps dark shanks, beaks and eyes). Cemani have other melanin boosters that counter the effect of sex linked dominant dermal inhibitor Id

Welsummer F x French Black Copper Marans M = gen1
gen1 F x FBCM M = gen2
gen2 F x gen2 M -> tight peacomb offspring = gen3

What if cross gen3 F x Blue Americauana M?
What about gen3 M x Blue Americauna F?

Curious about coloring and what the genotype would be of the offspring. Also curious if that would get me speckled green eggs. THANK YOU!
