This subject is covered in my Ameraucana Chickens book.

In the link you provided for chick down color, it shows that ER chicks are not as black as the E chicks....looks like the ones with the yellow faces are the ER????
Is that correct??
Mike Gilbert:
Stan, black and brown red chick down color is all over the board - depending on modifying genes. Unless you are familiar with a particular line you can't really tell one from another most of the time. Blacks do tend to have more white/yellow in their down than brown reds though. Look at the chick pictures I posted yesterday. Those are brown reds.
Mike Gilbert:
That is interesting and would explain a lot. What does SNP stand for?

I found out the "N" stands for "normal" and the newer way of designating the symbols or names in Nomenclature for naming loci, alleles, linkage groups and chromosomes to be used in poultry genome publications and databases.

Makes reading the Jeffrey's book on Bantam Genetics confusing...speaking of which, that's one that the ABA really should reprint. It goes for $100.00 these days ...used.
