Hi,

Remember my dusky project topic?
It showed a columbian restricted lakenvelder * japarama cockerel.
He is showing a lot of autosomal red now.
Genotype probably: het e^b/wheaten, het Co/co+, het dun I^d/i+, split choc, het autosomal red, het Pg/pg+, het "charcoal". When kazjaps is right that the mother is a red enhanced silver wheaten he must be homo silver!
He shows that the proposed genotype for cocopop could work.

Autosomal red on silver can produce a cream color in females. Here are two young pullets that show this. The pictures does not do them justice-the flash causes more silver to show. I am working on the color-I will call the variety silver-cream.
