Now if someone coulkd just write up the squares for tufts for Araucanas... and one for the BBS I would do it but I have NO idea what letters/combinations to use

 

[hinkjc]

The tuft gene is a whole new ballgame. Two copies and it is fatal (chick dies). Even in many cases a single copy of the gene is fatal. Read more here..

Yay! I'm so glad I found this thread!!! Thank you!!!

guitarists and lil peeps - you are awesome! I love the way you "showed" the hidden lav gene - it's perfect!

I am saving this thread for future reference...

 

[Mrs MIA]

OK... did you, or can you, do this for the Splash crossed back to black or blue, too?

Or direct me to the thread it's in if it's already been done?

 

[Guitartists]

Yeah, I've read that... loved to see it mapped out as a punnett square

I would take a hack at it but I am afraid of using the wrong letters, etc.

If someone can tell me what the letter combinations are for BBS... I will take a hack at it

Unless Julie would love to do it for me!

Then I can just do the chicken part! LOL

 

[LilPeeps]

Sure, I'll give it a go...give me some time

Ok, here's one for black/blue/splash...

I used BB to represent a splash bird (2 copies of blue gene), Bb represents a blue (1 copy of blue gene), and bb represents a black bird (no blue gene).

splash (BB) x black (bb)

splash (BB) x blue (Bb)

blue (Bb) x blue (Bb)

Blue (Bb) x black (bb)
