sorry if I aggravated you. I see genetics as numbers, outcomes. plane science, sometimes I forget about the feelings put on to these birds by the owners. sorryThat's why I stated he was a cull. He is too dark AND too colorful - no cream at all

i don't love my birds as some do - I love the hobby and the challenge. I just found your statement a bit broad, a bit too negative and like a sweeping condemnation of my work thus far based on one image that I stated was faulty in color and tone. I am a working artist so I am used to negative critiques...plus I teach high school so my skin is pretty thick.
This is the same boy in the image - He is from my golden girl. All her boys tend to be too colorful and maybe too dark as chicks if that's what niclandia is saying but I may disagree a bit. I have not hatched out any cream chicks from her - some that are lighter gold but never cream - and I think my rooster supplied that gene. The question I have is about the secondary feathers showing in his wing bay - they are gold toned. My favorite male has very little gold in the wing bay
like this
Punnet states in his writings that any gold present here is a sign of gold in the genetics. So I am watching for gold in the secondary feathers as part of my cull process. What say you about this?
Question: IF cream is diluted gold (as Pease claimed), then won't there be gold in the genetics?
