I have an Araucana Rooster which I think is an Isobel. He is lavender with light gold / straw color on his back.
If I want this color pattern to show in future generations (without using an isobel hen), would it be best to breed him to a Lavender Ara hen or a reddish Ara hen? Or something else?
Can anyone explain the genetics of Isobel
Such as what reddish color is being diluted to make the straw color appear lighter?
And what genes does he have on the E locus? Is it duckwing or something else?
I want to plug his genes into the chicken calculator here http://kippenjungle.nl/chickencalculator.html but I don't know what every single one of his genes is.
