Thread: [Resource] Recessive Pattern Genes by Heritability
[Resource] Recessive Pattern Genes by Heritability
There doesn't seem to be an easy-to-read resource anywhere that pits recessive genes against each other, so I offer this thread after charting most of this info on my own for my breeding projects. I figured this would be the right subforum for such a guide since there are threads on pattern items and potential guides in here, but I'm not totally sure, oop. Corrections welcome because the actual wiki is kinda hard for me to parse LOL
| Pattern Name | 100% inheritable versus | Created by | 0% inheritable versus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double-Lace | Neck-Speckle | Lace/Lace (25%) | see below |
| Half-Bar | Neck-Band, Neck-Speckle | Half-Lace/Bar (50%) | Half-Lace |
| Half-Lace | Half-Bar, Neck-Band, Neck-Speckle | Lace/None (50%) | none recessive |
| Neck-Band | Double-Lace, Neck-Speckle | Bar/Head (50%) | Half-Bar, Half-Lace |
| Neck-Speckle | none (other than itself) | Speckle/Head (50%) | Double-Lace, Half-Bar, Half-Lace, Neck-Band |
Notes:
- On standard genes: these are the basic Bar, Head, Lace, None, Speckle patterns available from splicers. These are the only patterns available to first-generation chickens.
- With the exception of Double-Lace/Lace pairs (25% Double-Lace children), recessive genes will always defer to standard genes when breeding.
- Double-Lace bred against anything other than Double-Lace and Neck-Speckle becomes regular Lace.
- On thin displays, the table may require horizontal scrolling (to avoid the table clipping out of the post bounds).
