Hello Aves, I had to draw out your answer that you gave regarding your methods of line breeding, so I could see the trees in the forest, so to speak. I got it...
Ludo, You asked, ... To me they are the same, it all depends on who is looking or doing it. For some, in Line Breeding you use relatives that are not as close...
Hi GPA101Genetics, My thanks to those writers who have been posting to our new genetic E- Group. I would like to let the group know that we have recently ...

Hi Group, I have a RH/WB/YB male and a BH/WB/GB hen. I checked their nest the other day and notice that one of the chicks are yellow. Great surprise. What do I...
Hi Christopher, This what you can expect from your mating with RH/WB/YB male and a BH/WB/GB hen 25.0% Males >> Red / Black head - White breast - SF Yellow Body...
Did I miss something? Is there a new mutation of Gouldian called a snigle? What color is it and what is it's generic code? LOL ... Andrea (who mostly lurks...
To all Just an observation on nomenclature. It is important that the ways names are written is standardised so as to avoid confusion. slashes "/" indicate...

Hi Again, Sorry about the confusion with the /. OK, this is how it should have been written then. RH WB YB male and a BH WB GB hen. So with this combo all the ...
i guess i'm very comfortable with the splits staying in the separate areas. Such as RH/BH PB/WB GB/BB. It makes it easier to sort in the brain. LOL. I agree...
Hello Christopher, You wrote: "Is black head a sex linked gene then? " Yes, both the YB and BH mutations are sex-linked. You also wrote: "Still what is the...
Hi Betty, This appears to be the second post with unwanted and inappropriate material this week. I don't know why this E-Group has become a target for these...
Sandy said ... No hyphens. They indicate linkage, which is not an issue with mutations on different choromosomes. But I do wonder if any research has been done...
Hi, I don't think you can use codes like this as it is NOT universal. We here in Australia use the term blue back and the USA uses blue body. We use yellow...
interesting. How do you abbreviate the colors there in Aus. and how do you use the Aus and the Euro yellow in your description. I would be interested in seeing...
Hello Terry, I have a question regarding the YB mutation. You wrote: "Yellowback always behaves co-dominantly, it is just that the action of the WB gene...
The fact that the naming codes are not universal is the whole problem. I believe with the formation of this group we have a unique chance of making the...

Terry, While I agree with what you wrote about universal naming of the different color mutations, I have to ask you about this comment you made, ... Correct me...
Hi Terry, As you asked, it is indead very interesting to know the naming of the different mutations in Europe. I will try to give a summary of some countries,...
Just curious, I just had some babies hatch. The parents are a Normal cock and a orange head, white breast hen. Thanks Sheila Gordon Palm Springs, CA ...
