The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Yes

Thanks, I must admit I was not sure if that was the case.

Most EEs that lay colored eggs have pea comb(they have been like that for at least 40 years, now I hear that CL crosses are also being called EEs by some people and by some Hatcheries)

The Welsumer/EE Rooster likely has a pea comb and has 50% chance of passing his Oocyan mutation to his daughters he has at least 10 mutations in heterozygous form for the brown egg shell also.

The BCM/EE hen likely has a pea comb and lays green eggs so she has 50% chance of passing his Oocyan mutation to her daughters she has at least 10 mutations in heterozygous form for the brown egg shell also.

You can expect to get 50% females laying Brown eggs, 50% laying Green colored eggs(Some will be darker than others but will be within the green colored range) no blue eggers from this cross.

What would happen if I bred a lavender ameraucana rooster to a splash hen? Or what if I bred a cinnamon tuxedo button quail to a wild color button quail?

I’ve been told the Welsummer/EE has crested cream legbar. I think he’s an olive egger. I don’t think he has any Ameraucana or Aracana stock unless it’s through CCL. Do CCLs have peacombs? My dominant roo is huge - comb & all.

Self Lavender are Basically all Black birds E/E, Ml/Ml, Pg/Pg, lav/lav, bl+/bl+ with recessive lavender(lav/lav)

Splash are Basically all Black birds E/E, Ml/Ml, Pg/Pg, Lav+/Lav+, Bl/Bl with dominant Splash

Splash(two copies of Blue Bl/Bl)
Blue(one copy of Blue, Bl/bl+)
Black( no copies of blue bl+/bl+)

This means that Lavender x Splash will produce All blue birds with hidden lavender E/E, Lav+/lav, Bl/bl+

I don't breed Quails so I don't manage their information

Oh that is interesting. I guess I will get some blue ameraucanas next year

Crested Cream Legbars have Single Comb.

Also what do you mean lavenders are all black birds that doesnt make sense. Do you mean they carry a black gene?

Lavender acts as a black when crossed to anything other than lavender

Ohh ok. Im assuming that is because they used black chickens to make lavenders?

Lavender is a mutation of black
