Sorry to take so much of your time, but can I ask if the gold gene means s/- and if it means no effect on the color or, if in a hen, means there can be an effect?Is that first hen a good possibility or does the red in wings and tail make it unlikely?
I would not expect that much red in the wings and tail of a hen with the silver gene. I would think she probably has the gold gene anyway.
But I could be wrong.
Maybe @nicalandia or someone else will chime in with an opinion on this.
I've been thinking hens are silver or not silver and I'm not sure I understand what gold means outside of a gold rooster with S/s.
