What color is he Genetically speaking?

[sjango]

To me he looks like a messy duckwing. Maybe a black x gold or silver duckwing cross. Would probably breed like e+. At least that is what I have experienced.

Do he is wildtype on the e allele, some form of duckwing.

This guy should know.

Haha, I love the confidence!

 

[sjango]

I Do.

Awesome, thank you so much! That’s just what I was looking for.

@nicalandia, so is the double laced guy something like: e+/e+ Pg/Pg Ml/ml and S/s? or some similar iteration?

Is the pattern gene what makes it different from the brassyback?

Heterozygous E/eWh even with Columbian restrictors(think about how black sex link males look minus the sex linked barring) will never have a white/gold fly feathers(Wing Triangle) the most they will look is pseudo birchen(darker than actual birchen, most of them will have black shoulders)

Huh. I have a hen I assumed was Eewh because she has an Ameraucana father and a Domique mother. She has quite a lot of leakage. Might ERewh affect it?

Do you know his heritage? I think some genetics are just random. I've got some interesting birds from a Crele rooster x White hen that I have no idea what would be called because it's non-standard - she's not Crele or white but something just weird, but pretty.

I wanna see a picture of the weird but pretty chicken

Her dad was a Crele EExWyandotte mix, while her mom was either a pure white Ameraucana or an EE.

I'm curious about her colors since she doesn't really exhibit either of those patterns and all of her siblings look very different from her.

I love weird birds! She is beautiful ❤

Thank you!! She's one of my favorite birds!

Yes, E/eWh hens with Columbian restrictor(Co/co+) may have leakage, but this is not the point I was making. The post is about a rooster, hens lack the white triangle. The point I was trying to make is that under no circumstances E/eWh or any Extended Black Heterozygous males will have white triangles, leakage is another thing altogether.

Huh, okay, that’s interesting.
She doesn’t have Co but I assume you were talking about the black sexlinks, not my hen specifically.
I thought the wing triangle could be extreme leakage but you prove that it is not. Interesting. Okay.

Her mother was probably recessive white with blue hiding underneath, which gave you a blue barred hen with leakage.

So the yellow all through is the leakage right? I'm /very/ new to genetics and don't understand the ins and outs of it.

One of her sisters is butter colored with blue lacing on her feathers. One roo to two hens made a bunch of diverse looking babies.



These two are siblings to the blue-barred hen, and the brown hen in front of them is their sister. They're either full or half sisters. I used two hens for their blue eggs and the Crele rooster to breed these guys.
