Some of my juvenile chickens Starting from the left we have: Genotypes: 1. Frizzled silkie: H+/h(non-silky) F/f+(Frizzle) na+/na+(non-naked neck) 2. Silkie: h/h(silky) f+/f+(non-frizzle) na+/na+(non-naked neck) 3. Sizzled silkie: h/h(silky) F/f+(frizzle) na+/na+(non-naked neck) 4...

Comb: bd(Breda comb/Combless)-autosomal, recessive. DV(V-shape Duplex comb)- autosomal, incomplete dominant. DB(Buttercup, Duplex comb)- autosomal, incomplete dominant. R(Rose-comb)- autosomal, dominant. P(Pea-comb) - autosomal, incomplete dominant. R,P(Walnut-comb)- both autosomal, both...

In the picture above the sciences/geneticist used capital letters for all E series foundation colors and pattern genes. They also left off the beginning E when labeling foundation color. Hope this helps you understand the picture. Extended black (E*E), Birchen (E*R), wild-type (E*N), brown...

There are two "layers" that influence shank color. Dermis is the underlying skin structure & tissue. Epidermis is the skin that covers over the Dermis. Skin/Leg: Fm(Fibromelanosis/dark skinned/dark shanked)- autosomal, dominant, with multifactorial modifiers. As seen in silkies...

The methods for sexing day-old chicks: Color sexing- there are many different ways to make color sexable chicks. You can get a autosexing breed. Genes that have auto sexing potential: e+(duckwing/wild type) is a E series base color that has auto sexing properties. The female chick down has...

I've compiled chicken genes, predominantly feather color and pattern influencers, and other physical characteristics. I like to learn about chicken genetics, but I'm especially interested in color genetics, and feather types, among other physical trait genetics. Feel free to check out my farm...

Update: Female chickens have a Z sex chromosome and a W sex chromosome. Male chickens have two Z sex chromosomes. Autosomal basically means NOT sexlinked. An autosomal chromosome is a chromosome that is NOT a sex chromosome. An autosomal gene is a gene that is NOT on a sex chromosome...

Primary color pattern Do you know your chickens foundation color? It is determined by the 10 E locus series base colors. Poultry Genetics. The E locus genes, in order of most dominant to most recessive. Genes: 1. E(dominant black/extended black)- examples of this base color can be...
