What genetics by two favorite chickens have???

Here is my duckwing/wheaten heterozygote. She is an Ameraucana Welsummer cross, so I know the genetics.
She looks a bit different because she does not express blue. I also believe I see mahogany on yours, just like mine.
Here is mine:

They do seem similiar.base color wise, though mines more gold :p does the gold or silver in her come from wheaten??

The mahogany, is it the darker coloring on her wings??

The mahogany makes her more reddish.
She might be lighter simply because she's blue.
 
The rooster is wheaten or gold duckwing. The hen is mainly gold duckwing, though since she's an easter egger her color is mixed, as is the rooster's. The "silver" in her hackles and tail is blue.
 
Ah, so it's not actually the gold and silver coloring genes then, ok. I still absolutely love their coloring though.

What about their feathers? I'd love to learn more about the genetics giving them their specific patterns they have, and am curious wich ones may be passed on if they have chicks.

Could someone post a diagram of all the possible feather patterns?? I can find a good one.
 
The Cream Legbar chicken originated in Great Britain, from crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks with golden Leghorns and Araucanas.
according to the research done by Dr. Reginald Punnett, the stock he got from Clarence Elliott(from his original trip to South American back on 1927) they were highly mongrelized(only one hen survived) this hen was the start of his work on the recessive gold diluter(ig cream), I would call the stock a "Chilean" native instead of what we can call Araucana today

Also not sure about golden leghorns. Never heard that but brown leghorns and white leghorns were used.
Another important breed that was missed was the cambar.

Never heard of the cambar, those were used to breed easter eggers to??
 
Cambars were the first autosexing breed Punnett came up with.
They weren't very popular so they disappeared into extinction.
"Easter eggers" werent around back then. IMO Easter egger is just a label that came about after araucana and ameraucana were already accepted into the APA.
