The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Kiki]

Who wants to go on a project ride along? Or genetics play along?
I've got a few 55 flowery leghorns but no 55 rooster so I've decided to use a couple for a project.
I'll be setting up a breeding pen in a week or so. So here's what I'll have.
55 flowery leghorn hens

This should be an interesting project and in a few generations have some good results.
I won't give away too much yet but if you're new to genetics or interested to see how some projects work follow along or even play along.
Ok. If you know genetics well or plan to use the calculator refrain from answering so we can get some less knowledgeable people involved and maybe excited.
If this stuff comes easy and you want to get involved in a bit faster speed feel free to pm me your thoughts and I'll add you to the post just so others know you're ahead of the game or have it all figured out.
First things first then. Who knows the genetics of these to varieties?

I'm following.
A big negative for knowing their genetics from me.

Know their patterns or parts of their patterns?

I could probably cheat and give you the answer but no I do not know.

You want to learn something or do you already know?

Red crele??? I think. Not sure on this one.
Red crele is wild type with the barring gene and mahogany.
And silver duckwing.
Silver duckwing is wild type with the sex linked silver gene. Some silver duckwing express the mahogany gene, but not these.
I think you are going to try to make an autosexing silver fifty flower Leghorns, correct?

What’s up? I’m always down to learn.

Silver duckwing is right.
Wildtype with sex link silver.
Red crele is wrong.
It is duckwing and sex link barring.
No mahogany and yes no mahogany on the silver either.
On the 55s you're still missing one gene.
And they are sex linked gold.

I'll get to what I'm making later. Or more like I'll get someone else to figure it out.
Spoiler though. This project is gonna blow up and spiderweb.

Ah, they just looked orangey to me.
Hmmmm... Dilute?
