I'm new but trying to learn about the genotypes of my chickens! I have these 3 I'm particularly curious about. If anyone has any ideas about the genotypes (related especially to their coloring) I'd really appreciate it!!
This first two were sold to me as Ameraucanas:
#1 I am guessing is Bl/bl+ (split for blue gene which dilutes black coloring to blue) but past that I'm a little lost. What base (E-locus) gene do you think would create her darker head and lighter body? Also the feathers around her neck almost look laced... Do you think she has the pattern gene or can that sometimes happen without the pattern gene?
#2 Is beautiful but I'm pretty lost about her to be honest. Anyone know what she genes she might be carrying?
And this one was sold to me as an EE:
#3 is also beautiful but I'm so curious - What would you call the pattern on her individual feathers and what genes would cause that? (maybe pattern and melanizer genes?) Also, what combination of genes would cause her head to be gold with no black?
Thank you so much in advance for helping me learn!!
