The E locus in Chickens!

The E extension locus is the locus that determine the base pattern in chickens. I will show you all some examples of E locus alleles from most dominant to most recessive. The E locus controls the extension of black eumelanin and gold phaomelanin on a bird. Some genes extend black over more of the bird and some restrict the black to certain areas and extend gold. Some of these are actually mahogany (Mh) instead of gold, and not all of these pictures are stellar. I'm doing my best.

E: Extended black. Extended black is the most dominant and darkest of the base patterns. It has been debated what an extended black would look like without additional melanizers. Black birds that you see at shows are solid black like this hen. These birds are usually E based, but black can actually be created on most loci, with enough melanizers.

But it is theorized that males without melanizers might have some gold leakage in the hackles, shoulders, and saddles like this guy. I believe he is mahogany based.

And hens might have a little gold in the hackles. Extended black also gives birds epidermal melanin in the beaks and shanks.

E^R: Birchen is the second most dominant and the second darkest of the E alleles. It causes a mostly black bird. The hen has gold edging on the hackle feathers, along with down the front of the neck and breast.

On males it is much the same except the gold also extends to the shoulders and saddles as well:

This guy is lacking the breast lacing. I think it might be caused by some type of melanizer.

Birchen is a very cool base color because of all the patterns that are based on it. With a few other genes, you can get spangled birds, laced birds, and autosomal barred birds all with fully patterned tails. Also, it is often conducive to dark facial skin and eyes with the id+ gene.

E+: Duckwing. This is the wildtype pattern, what red junglefowl are: gold duckwing. Proving that wildtype is anything but basic.

Hens are a stippled brown with salmon breasts and gold necks with black striping

A male will have a black breast and tail and a gold neck and saddle. His wing is what "gold duckwing" gets its name for. He has red shoulders/bows, a black wing bar and a bay-colored wing bay.

e^Wh: Wheaten. It is theorized there may be more than one wheaten allele. In my experience, it is incompletely dominant with duckwing. It is the lightest of all of the colors on the e locus. I think it looks very cool and exotic and has an interesting level of sexual dimorphism. Blue wheaten is one of my favorite colors.

The females are a lovely creamy color like this Ameraucana from the Ameraucana Alliance page (because apparently my only wheaten photos are blue wheaten or red wheaten.)

Also from the Ameraucana Alliance page, Susie Winder's Wheaten Male. Wheaten males and duckwing males can be hard to distinguish unless you know their background.

Since white has the most gold extension, it is the best base for creating patterns like buff and black-tailed red.

e^b: Partridge. The most recessive of the e alleles. Darker than e+ but lighter than E^R. It is hard to find one without the pattern gene. Partridge takes pattern well but always has a black tail.

Females are the same color as gold duckwing but with brown stippled breasts instead of salmon breasts. Here is a partridge Drents hen from Kippenpagina.

Partridge males are much the same as gold duckwing, except with a touch more black in the hackle. Also from Kippenpagina.

I don’t normally do personal post, but this is gonna be one of those. I feel like I am finally okay enough to share this.

This is my dog Rosy. On Sunday morning, March 12, we found her dead in her crate. She was 6 years old, turning 7 April 2. She literally just laid down, went to sleep, and just never woke back up. It was very unexpected. We believe she may have had an enlarged heart, which made it more difficult for her heart to pump blood to her organs. A side effect is that one day, a dogs heart just stops beating from overworking itself, which seemed to be the case.

Despite her leaving us early, she was the best dog I could ever have. She brought so much joy with her silly quirks and her habits. She slept a lot, and her tongue constantly fell out of her mouth. Probably half the pics I have of her is her sleeping with her tongue out. She was kinda stupid, and just looked at you with a doofus expression. She was the sweetest thing ever. She loved food, never being one to miss a meal, and if her sister didn’t eat her meal to later, Rosy thought she missed out on a meal. She had the most precious face, so squishy and adorable. When she was fluffy, her hair constantly fell in her face and she couldn’t see a darn thing. I made fun of her constantly, but dang it she was loved.

She shouldn’t have lived nearly as long as she did, but she did because, gosh, we loved her so much. She left us in peace, and I would never want it any other way. She wasn’t in any pain, and I couldn’t ask for anything else. My last memory with her is sitting in my basement with her singing to my favorite music. It couldn’t have been any better. She lived a very good life and brought happiness to nearly everyone she met. I am so thankful that my family and I were the ones who got to give her the best life ever!

About chicken colours, what is salmon in salmon faverolles and how is it different from wheaten

Salmon birds ARE wheaten :) ! They wouldn't be salmon without the wheaten! So Wheaten (eWh) is fun and infuriating because the roosters dont look much different from duckwing (duckwing is the wild type e+) roosters besides having a bit less black in the saddle and hackle feathers. In the hens though it basically extends the color of the breast over the entire bird and removes some black strippling you would see in a duckwing hen So below is a duckwing hen, notice her chest

now look at this Wheaten Marans you can see her color basically is just that chest color but extended over the entire bird she does have some other genes going on but just notice her base color. This hen in the example is gold based but what happens when you make a wheaten hen silver?

This what a silver wheaten bird looks like, look familiar? Looks very similar to to Salmon faverolles because they are also Silver Wheaten!

So You might noticed i said this bird above is silver, but she still has lots of red on her and that might be confusing if you saw my other post that mentioned silver because silver removes the red right? Well Silver only removes sex linked red but it doesnt impact other genes like Autosomal red and mahogany that much. Autosomal red is what gives the hen in the first picture her red chest and the dark red wing patch on the gold rooster below (remember this)

So here is a Salmon Faverolles

Salmon Faverolles get their nice color from autosomal red on a silver wheaten based. There is actually a couple different "types" of salmon in other breeds and usually its just tweaks to the base color like a bird not being pure for wheaten or a bird having mahogany which enhances red which is why sometimes you see lighter or darker faverolles sometimes. Remember what i said about the red wing patch and autosomal red below are some examples with a Faverolle being the last example which is just a fun tid bit and an easy way to know if your rooster has autosomal red

The Woodle is a hybrid designer dog that is created by mixing the Welsh Terrier with the Poodle. The mix is also sometimes referred to as the Welshpoo Terrier or Welshdoodle Terrier.

Told my sister I'm gonna come visit her in England this weekend she sent me a shopping list that include wheaten bread and red bpm

#the absolute state of england #not to have good wheaten bread #anyway i had to inform her im not paying for a extra bag #just so she can have red bpm and flavoured riverrock water

Remember him? So sad the sun went away right as I was taking pictures -_- he is so fun but he isn't very confident he almost never poses.

#this is what het pattern gene and columbian can look like on a wheaten split #still not fully commited to keeping him but i have a soft spot for him
