Wheaten Crele Orpington Project, Reboot

[MysteryChicken]

The Buff chick may replace one of my other Buff Orpingtons.

I do have a question, that I've been wondering for a while. If partridge is recessive, does that mean, wildtype is recessive too?
Would test breeding my Welsummer to my Orpingtons prove some carry wildtype?

In my own experiemce, wild type, at least as chicks, is dominant over everything else

I did calculations, & according to the calculator the Columbian, & Db, genes get in the way alot. But eventually I get into Duckwings.

So it is possible for my Buffs too hide it.

Have you seen my odd chick?

The buff or the ghost barred?

Sort of Buff, but it's under fluff is grey, but has salmon breasts coming in. Also has barring.

She also has her father's Gamefowl body type, & posture.

Oh weird!

Yes, weirdest one I've hatched out of my Orpingtons. And this was a back crossing.

Which ones have you crossed it with?
I thought Extended Black and Birchen were supposed to be dominant over wild type, even in the chick down.
