#melanotic

I'm building a chicken color genotype based on the genes Tumblr chooses, then I'll draw a male and a female specimen for you all to see.

I cover Melanotic in more detail here.

Melanotic

Non-Melanotic

Such a wholesome game! I thought for the longest time the main character was a melanotic alligator until I realized he was just wearing gloves... a different drawing with an albino version ( and spoilers for the true ending ) under the cut.

Melanotic symbolized by Ml is a dominant gene that is important for creating many patterns among chickens.

It increases the black extenson in the feather.

Brassy Back is a duckwing bird with the Ml gene. It looks similar to quail in the hens, but without the gold enhancement that columbian provides.

Here is a brassy back male, photo courtesy of Cackle Hatchery:

Yesterday was a wonderful day.

I started off with lazily going to school. I fell asleep in my first and second period class. The only thing that kept me going was that I was going to see my friends after school. Skipping to after school, I drove over the Marshall. There, I picked up Melissa to get supplies for her IA project. We stopped by her house to get some containers then went to Giant to get cheese cloth and snacks. After that, we went back to Marshall. I helped Melissa get her pH solutions ready. Some time in between that, I cut Walter's SIM card so he can finally use his iPhone. LOL. When he put his SIM card in, we were like "YAYY!!!" Awkward part was that we didn't know whether not we wanted to high five or hug at that point. LOLS. I'm so awko taco. :c But we eventually did both. :D He left to go hang out with his friends, so I went back to help Melissa.

While we were struggling to get the pH probe to work, Jon walked in. He brought a guy named Tristin. He was trolling on me pretty hardcore saying that he was a freshmen, then a freshmen in college, and so on. LOL. I was able to find out that he's actually a junior (He's good at keeping a straight face when he lies...). After all the trolling Tristin plugged his MP3 and played music while Melissa and I were working. It was pretty awesome cause he actually used the stereo built in the room. When "Fantastic Baby" began to play, he dragged Melissa out. I actually thought that he was going to ask her to prom or something...Turns out that Jon wanted people out and asked me to prom. LOLOLOL. He wrote my name on the board it said "Aurelie Tu will you go to prom with me?" in big letters. It didn't really process cause I was staring at the board for like...a good 30 seconds not knowing what just happened. But it eventually clicked LOL. The reason I was confused was because I thought it was ______ who asked me, but he wasn't there. LOL. That's why I didn't understand...el oh el...I don't know if I can even go to Marshall prom though...I have a performance that day. LOL.

So after all that and after Melissa and I were able to finish preparing the pH solutions, we went back to her house. We sat around a little and annoyed Arthur while he was playing his games (HE PLAYED FOR A GOOD 10 HOURS LAST NIGHT LOL.). Her mom came home and brought us out to eat China Wok. We ate yummy foodiez. :) While we were driving home, Melissa and Arthur were singing "Some Nights." It made me envious of them because they can sing confidently like that. LOL. I would do that if I could sing... :c

Back at Melissa's house, I curled her hair while we watched "Pitch Perfect." After Melissa asked me to stay for the night so I asked my parents and they said okay. :) We drove back to my house to get some clothes then went to Great Wall to get some munchies. When we got back to her house, we decided to take a nap for an hour then get up and play. But after the nap, Melissa was too tired...and I was too full of energy. LOL. I ended up letting Melissa sleep and I decided to hang out with Arthur and Walter. Arthur was playing games the entire time (LOL) so I talked to Walter instead. Around 12 AM, we walked to the park and sat around on the swings and just talked. It was nice cause it wasn't too cold and you could see the stars. We decided to head back to their place since we got bored. We went to his room and talked some more. We talked about lots of things ranging from eating to piercings LOL. I'm not sure how but we ended up talking until like..........3 in the morning LOLS. We decided to call it a night since he and Melissa had rehearsals at 8 in the morning. So I went back to Melissa's room and he fell asleep.

I'm pretty surprised how I'm wide awake right now...I'm running on 5 hours of sleep...which I guess isn't that bad...But I gotta go back to their house since I "forgot" my backpack and heels at their place.
