Yes, you can also work on the elusive "Golden" Duckwing Leghorns that are accepted in some countries. Silver Male over Gold hens give you 100% Golden Duckwings(Females are required to be Silver to be shown)

Most likely the combination of recessive ig cream and Silver(as in s+ with ig can still show brassy shoulders) The genetic explanation for Salmon Breast and Clean White Shoulders is aph+/aph+, S/S, ig/ig, mh+/mh+

That can be explained by the presence of a Pheomelanin diluter that cleans the shoulder on male feathered birds. To me Aph^I seems to have a stronger effect on Female Feathered birds, but I have yet to see a e+ hen feather rooster with pale/cream breast(I am in search of one as we speak for a...

Sorry, it was a Typo. I meant Silver.

S/- aph/aph female with well defined patterned Salmon colored breast Likely a S/-, Aph^I/Aph^I Salmon Faverolles don't have any other Pheomelanin diluters or inhibitors like cream(ig), Dilute(Di), Champagne Blond(Cb). Just Sex linked Silver(S)

It's much harder to spot for males, red shoulders are not enough. Perhaps the best example of a breed where you see this effect more is on Salmon Faverolle, You will see males without red shoulders and very pale females(nearly white under-body) others you will see very well salmon patterned...

Autosomal Pheomelanin can be seen better in Wheaten hens. Wheaten basically extends the Salmon coloration of the hen's breast to the entire body. The darkest females look cinnamon and the Aph^I females will have a soft cream tone one the under-body. Cubalaya Hen s+/, aph/aph

Many things have been said and many takes have been taken on "Autosomal Red" expression and by many knowledgeable people. To me Brian Reeder has the closest take on this subject. Autosomal Red is the expression of Autosomal Pheomelanin(aph) and other red enhancers. Aph+(Autosomal Pheomelanin...
