The colour/pattern genetics of Belgian varieties will mostly be discussed here. Please keep in mind that the genotypes of Belgians will vary from country to country, or even line to line.
The following is a basic guide as to what varieties are able to be paired together, without any deleterious effects. The main aim is to not mix Black lines that are carrying mottled, with Cuckoo lines, not to mix Black lines carrying Lavender with Blue lines, etc. It is best not to breed Silver varieties with Gold varieties (ie, Silver Millefleur with Millefleur), as "gold leakage" may occur with the Silver offspring. Quail varieties are not to be paired with Millefleur varieties, to avoid introducing the mottled gene into the Quail lines (ie, Mottled Quail is not a recognised variety) & so on.....
* There are many reasons why these basic guidelines are not followed, eg developing
a new variety, developing disease resistant lines, to avoid inbreeding depression
(infertility, etc), to improve type in a line & so on..... It is only a
guide.
* It is important to keep accurate records/pedigrees.
Colour Breeding Lines:
* Cuckoo, Black, Lavender
* Blue, Black, Splash
* Millefleur, Blue Millefleur, Golden Neck (Splash Millefleur)
* Porcelaine, Millefleur
* Quail, Blue Quail, Splash Quail
* Lavender Quail, Quail
* Silver Quail, Blue Silver Quail
* Lavender Silver Quail, Silver Quail
* Blue Mottled, Black Mottled

-------------------------------------------------------------
The following gives a basic idea as to the results of pairing Lavender with Black varieties, Cuckoo with non-barred, Blue with Black & Splash, White with coloured varieties, Mottled with non-mottled & Silver with Gold.
* Lavender (recessive)
eg
Black/Lavender, Black Mottled/Lavender Mottled, Millefleur/Porcelaine, Silver
Millefleur/Silver Porcelaine, Quail/Lavender Quail, Silver Quail/Lavender Silver
Quail breeding combinations.
Black + Lavender = 100% Blacks, all carrying Lavender
Black (carrying Lavender) + Black = All black, 50% carrying Lavender
Black (carrying Lavender) + Black (carrying Lavender) = 75% Blacks [50% carrying
Lavender, 25% pure Blacks], 25% Lavender
Black (carrying Lavender) + Lavender = 50% Blacks [all carrying Lavender], 50%
Lavender
Lavender + Lavender = 100% Lavender
------------------------------------------------------------
* Andalusian Blue (incomplete dominant)
eg
Black/Blue/Splash, Black Mottle/Blue Mottle, Millefleur/Blue Millefleur/Golden
Neck (Splash Millefleur), Silver Millefleur/ Blue Silver Millefleur, Quail/Blue
Quail/Splash Quail, Silver Quail/Blue Silver Quail, Buff Columbian/Blue Buff
Columbian, Columbian/Blue Columbian breeding combinations.
Andalusian Blue + Black = 50% Blacks, 50% Andalusian Blue
Andalusian Blue + Andalusian Blue = 25% Blacks, 50% Andalusian Blue, 25% Splash
Andalusian Blue + Splash = 50% Andalusian Blue, 50% Splash
Splash + Splash = 100% Splash
Splash + Black = 100% Andalusian Blue
-----------------------------------------------------------
* Sex-linked Gold (recessive) & Sex-linked Silver (dominant)
eg
Millefleur/Silver Millefleur, Quail/Silver Quail, Columbian (Ermine)/Buff Columbian
(Fawn Ermine).
Gold + Gold = all gold
Gold male + Silver female = all gold females, all silver males (S/s) -carrying
gold
Silver male (S/S) + Gold female = all silvers, all males carrying gold (S/s)
Silver (S/s -carrying gold) male + Gold female = of males: 50% Silver [S/s -all
carrying Gold], 50% Gold, of females: 50% Silver, 50% Gold
Silver (S/s -carrying gold) male + Silver female = of males: 50% Silver -carrying
Gold (S/s), 50% pure Silver (S/S), of females: 50% Silver, 50% Gold
---------------------------------------------------------
*Cuckoo/Barred (Sex-linked Dominant)
eg
Cuckoo/Black, Lavender Cuckoo/Lavender breeding combinations.
Cuckoo (B/B) + Cuckoo (B/B) = all cuckoo
Black male + Cuckoo female = females black (non barring), males cuckoo (B/b)
-carrying non-barring/black
Cuckoo (B/B) male + Black female = all cuckoos, all males (B/b) -carrying non-barring/
black
Cuckoo (B/b -carrying non-barring/black) male + Black female = of males: 50%
Cuckoo [B/b -all carrying non-barring/black], 50% Black, of females: 50% Cuckoo,
50% Black
Cuckoo (B/b -carrying non-barring/black) male + Cuckoo female = of males: 50%
Cuckoo, (B/b -carrying non-barred/black, 50% pure Cuckoo (B/B), of females:
50% Cuckoo, 50% Black.
---------------------------------------------------------
* Mottled (recessive)
eg Black/Black Mottled, Blue/Blue Mottled, Lavender/Lavender Mottled, Millefleur/Buff
Columbian
Solid + Solid = All solids
Solid + Mottled = 100% solids, all carrying mottled
Solid (carrying Mottled) + Solid = all solid, 50% carrying mottled
Solid (carrying Mottled) + Solid (carrying Mottled) = 75% solids [50% carrying
mottled, 25% pure solids], 25% mottled
Solid (carrying Mottled) + Mottled = 50% solids [all carrying mottled], 50%
mottled
Mottled + Mottled = 100% Mottled
-------------------------------------------------------
* Recessive White
eg
Coloured/Recessive White breeding combinations
Coloured + Coloured = all coloured
Coloured + White = 100% coloureds, all carrying white
Coloured (carrying White) + Coloured = all coloured, 50% carrying white
Coloured (carrying White) + Coloured (carrying White) = 75% coloureds [50% carrying
white, 25% pure coloureds], 25% white
Coloured (carrying White) + White = 50% coloureds [all carrying white], 50%
white
White + White = 100% White
Up to Top
----------------------------------------------------------------
1: Blue Buff Columbian to Millefleur = ½ Buff Columbian, ½ Blue
Buff Columbian
Pair F1 Blue Buff Columbian to Millefleur = ¼ Buff Columbian, ¼
Blue Buff Columbian, ¼ Millefleur, ¼ Blue Millefleur
* If the original Blue Buff parent is pale buff, then the Millefleur may be
too light in ground colour, ie if possible use a deep Buff
2: Blue Mottled to Millefleur = ½ Black Mottled, ½ Blue Mottled
Pair F1 Blue Mottled to Millefleur = ¼ Black Mottled, ¼ Blue Mottled,
¼ Millefleur, ¼ Blue Millefleur
* May have problems with Mottled progeny having gold in neck hackles, etc, or too much black in neck hackles of Millefleur. The Mottled with gold in neck hackles are good for pairing back to Millefleur & Buff Columbian but not necessarily of Mottled show quality.
3: Buff Columbian to Blue Mottled = ½ Black, ½ Blue
4: Blue Buff Columbian to Black Mottled = ½ Black, ½ Blue
In 3 & 4, pair Blue F1 back to Millefleur = 1/8 Black Mottled, 1/8 Blue
Mottled,1/8 Blue, 1/8 Black, 1/8 Buff Columbian, 1/8 Blue Buff Columbian, 1/8
Millefleur, 1/8 Blue Millefleur
The best pairing would be Splash Buff Columbian to Millefleur or Splash Mottled
to Millefleur. This would give all Blue progeny in the F1.
eg Splash Buff Columbian to Millefleur = 100% Blue Buff Columbian, giving you
higher numbers to use in next generation &/or to cull for ·type·.
* F1 = 1st generation
There are other pairings that will give you Blue Millefleur, but smaller percentages.
Pairing Blue Millefleur to Blue Millefleur will give Splash Millefleur genotype,
looking like a Buff Mottled in phenotype. This variety is called Golden Neck
in the USA. The Buff Mottled (Oker Mottled) of Europe is the Millefleur variety
with the Dominant White gene added. They have a very similar phenotype to the
Splash Millefleur (Golden Neck). If you add the Lavender gene to either the
Splash Millefleur or Oker Mottled (Dominant White Millefleur) you will have
the ·Cream Mottled· variety.

* Buff/Cream, Buff Columbian & Quail varieties may have gold diluters, eg
Di & Cb. Buff/Cream varieties have extra Columbian-like restrictors, eg
Db, Mh, & possibly Di. Db may also be found in Millefleur varieties. I haven't bred the Cream &
Buff varieties myself. They may have a Wheaten allele at the E locus, and they may or may not have I - Dominant White & or Blue Bl, or possibly I^D - Dun in some countries. Some Creams may have ig instead of lav.

The gene responsible for white skin is "W". It is a dominant gene. The gene "w" is the yellow skin gene, recessive to white. These gene alleles are the "epidermal-outer layer" influence on shank/sole colour. The "dermal-under layer" influence to shank colour is determined by the gene alleles "Id" (no pigment) & "id" (dermal-black pigment). The dermal genes are sex-linked.The combination of both dermal & epidermal genes alone can produce the following:
| Shank colour | Dermis | Epidermis |
| White | none (Id/Id) | white (W/W) |
| Yellow | none (Id/Id) | yellow (w/w) |
| Green (Willow) | black (id/id) | yellow (w/w) |
| Slate/Blue | black (id/id) | white (W/W) |
| Black | black (id/id) | white (W/W) |
* I have modified the above table from Jeffrey, F. (1977) "Bantam Breeding
& Genetics" book.
* Another influence to shank colour is the gene Fm (Fibromelanosis). This dominant
gene is responsible for the dark flesh colour of the Silkie fowl.
This is a very simple explanation on the genetics. Unfortunately, there is much more, as "plumage colour genes" can influence shank colour significantly.
Diluters of black shank colour:
Blue (Bl/bl), Splash (Bl/Bl), Recessive White (c/c), Mottling (mo/mo), Dominant
White (I/I), Gold Dilute (Di/Di), Barring (B/B)
Enhancers of black shank colour:
Extended Black (E/E), Birchen (ER/ER)
Enhancers of horn shank colour:
Red/gold plumage
l'll give a few examples:
| Shank colour | Dermis |
Epidermis | Plumage colour |
| White | black (id/id) | white (W/W) | cuckoo (B/B), D. White (I/I), heavily mottled (mo/mo), |
| Yellow | none (Id/Id) | yellow (w/w) | some ER- birchen/black * |
| Green (Willow) | none (Id/Id) | yellow (w/w) | black (E or ER) |
| Blue | black (id/id) | white (W/W) | blue (Bl/bl), splash (Bl/Bl), R.white (c/c) |
| Slate | none (Id/Id) | white (W/W) | black (E or ER) + lavender (lav/lav) |
| Black | none (Id/Id) | white (W/W) | black (E or ER) |
| Horn | none (Id/Id) | yellow (w/w) | red |
* it is not clearly understood why some ER (eg solid black plumage) breeds/varieties
may have yellow shanks, whereas others have black shanks, regardless of the
dermal gene allele. That is, an ER, Id/Id (no dermal pigment) bird may be either
yellow or black (or willow) shanked. For example, Black: Pekins, Japanese Bantams,
Leghorns, etc have yellow shanks. Other examples are Birchen Grey, Brown Red
varieties with yellow legs. There is a relationship between white feather undercolour
in Blacks & no shank pigment, suggesting a plumage melanotic gene is involved.
The level of influence varies greatly from the list above, eg Barring/Cuckoo
(B/B) can dilute black dermal colour to white, whereas Blue (Bl/bl) or RecessiveWhite
may only dilute colour to Blue, & exhibition Belgian mottled birds have
slate/blue legs.
Shank colour may change from day-old to adult hood
Up to Top
-------------------------------------------------------
It is very easy to identify a Lavender bird by looking at the main tail feathers.
If the outer-side feather shaft is pale & the inner feather shaft is dark,
it is more than likely Lavender. The inner feather-web has a darker iridescent-like
sheen, extending outwards from the shaft.
The andulusian type blue (Bl/bl) usually have dark feather shafts, regardless
whether laced or non-laced. No matter how pale in colour, the blues (Bl/bl)
don't have the same tail characteristics (as above), as the lavenders. the lav/blues
have a combination of traits from both varieties.
* paler lavender shade
* darker feather shafts
* roos with darker hackles.
It is rather frowned upon in the Belgian Barbu bantam world, mixing lav (Lavender)
with Bl (Blue), as the above traits are considered flaws in lavender varieties.
Lavenders are to have:
Lavenders (lav/lav)
Both genders:
* even lavender shade throughout,
* no sexual dimorphism
* Light feather shafts on outside
* Darker feather colour (web & shafts) on inside. This applies to both Lavender
colour & gold/straw colour on Porcelaines.
There is the known feather quality issues with lavenders, eg wing patch in roos, fret marks, etc, although the wing patches are not found in all lavenders. Then there is the trait of darker flecks or darker feathers in the blues, plus the sexual dimorphic traits.
