The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

What are some best ways to utilize the Khaki gene?

It's a good alternative to Dominant White in it's homozygous state. Chocolate color on its heterozygous form and Platium color when combined with blue.

How about breeding it to Barred for Barred Duns?

I would say it's a very high probability of being Homozygous Dun

Here are my Fawn Silver Duckwing and Khaki Silver Duckwing OEGBs based on the dun gene as well, just thought they were an interesting comparison to the BBRs above.

Not a super great shot, but here's that Khaki pullet with a regular Silver Duckwing pullet, too:

If people say whiting true blues are a breed but they dont breed true are they really a breed or a mix?

They don't follow a SOP or make an effort to follow a specific color pattern so they don't breed true.
