Both together - they are very different  8)

strange, my bules aren't blue and my reds aren't red!!

[klinkley]

there has been confusion over this before, can somebody actually post a photo of a chocolate and a yellow together so we can actually see them together, I have a bird which i always classed as, and bought as a chocolate, and when i put the photo on here before some said it was a yellow and not a chocolate, here is the photo again.

 

I can't see what all the confusion is all about.  The "chocolate" recessive red is clearly quite different from the yellow.  The chequered yellows are ash yellow chequer and the the picture of the group of yellows in the pen are recessive yellow, that simple.  Look at the link I posted earlier, it explains all.

Your're right, it's the female superior brain ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Aye, but Tammy_1 has a feminine side - don't you lovey  :K) :K) ;D ;D ;D ;D

that's nearly correct, you are that intellectually challenged that you believe yourself to be superior , the only chance you have of being superior is if you join a convent for 20 years and become a mother superior  ;D ;D

aye if u say so  ;D ;D

There is no chance that I will be joining a convent now or in the near or distant future, so I'll just stick to having the superior brain ;D ;D ;D

aye dream on

this argument is somewhere on site. i posted a photo of a yellow but there was some dispute as to whet yellow is, its there somewhere.

heres my yellows

 

 

Just to confuse things even more,these are not a million miles from creams.

as in custard creams

Yellow is used to describe a variety of different genetic combinations so this is where the confusion about what a yellow is comes from.However all these different combinations must have red genes and dilute genes.

 

Self Yellow is a dilute recessive red (chocolate)

 

When ash red is used we have to take pattern genes into account aswell

 

Yellow Checker is a dilute ash red checker

Yellow Bar (cream) is a dilute ash red bar(mealy)

 

Other colour modifying genes can also be added so for example we can get yellow grizzles and yellow pieds

but they're still red - who thought they were yellow in the first place?  

 

Are these both reds?

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest beautyhomer]

Yes both are ash red checks.The first one is the equivelent of of a dark check in blue and the second one is the equivelent of  a blue check.

funny how everybody has different ideas of colours

look like reds to me 8) nice pair susan

The science of colour genetics is a mind boggling subject.  I think to avoid even more confusion, just simply remember that dilue red is yellow, so dilute ash red chequer is ash yellow chequer, dilute recessive red (chocolate) is recessive yellow. dilute ash red bar (mealy) is cream.  How it actually gets there is up to you whether you wish to learn about it.

I've attached a photo of one of my young indigo chequer hen and a dilute indigo chequer hen.  She looks yellow, but she isn't.

   I must be colour blind here because I can't see anything that resembles anything yellow or even close to it in your two birds

I didn't say the two birds!  The dilute indgo chequer (second pic) has quite often been mistaken for a yellow, but she isn't.

and who could mistake it for being yellow ?  blind pugh ;D

[klinkley]

Well Obviously ;D
