The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

I'd like to see them side by side, at least in part.

Parrot Beak Aseels..

Malay chick #1. Has barring in his hackles.

Parrot Beak Aseels..

WOW those are ugly chickens! But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So surely some people love them.
Thank you for answering that second part. I appreciate it. So what about the first part of the question, which has the fullest overall tail, or are you including the Aseel for both?

According to the chicken calculator. If I breed black breasted red hens to a brassy back rooster. The resulting offspring will be quail. Is this correct?

I received an assortment of d’uccles from a breeder and there’s one pullet that I can’t figure out what to do with… she’s a silver porcelain and I’m curious about the the genetics. Would it be lavender diluting a silver Mille fleur? I have silver Roos and blue silver Roos as the choices just not sure what I’d get… would the chicks be the same color as the Roos but split for lavender gene?

 

[TwistedTayy]

Also I have another blue silver Mille fleur pullet that is feathering in very Colombian. I was hoping you could clue me in to the genetics so I can figure out how to correct it.

I take issue with that statement.

Not correct. There are no brassy back example listed on the chicken calculator.

Brassy back are Black Breasted Reds with a hackle melanizer(either Melanotic or Charcoal).

Quail is e+/e+, Melanizers and Columbian restrictor Co/Co. Since neither Black Breasted Red nor Brassy back have Columbian restriction, it's impossible to get the Quail patter.

BBR x Brassy back = incomplete brassy back(mid way between BBR and Brassy Back)

Isabel Laced/Gold laced split to Isabel laced...what is exactly does this mean as far as possible coloring and breeding?

Lavender is recessive. Split to Isabel means that lavender is present on the genetic make up of the bird in question but in heterozygous form(Lav+/lav)

Two split lavender/Isabel chickens when cross together will produce= 25% Lavender/Isabel lav/lav, 25% LAV+/LAV+, 50% Lav+/lav(Splits)
