I hope this is the right place to ask, I wasn't sure where to.
I have and love large speckled sussex... and I ONCE several years ago, was given a male BANTAM speckled sussex (but no female to pair him with). I have looked since then, and cannot find speckled sussex in the bantam size.
Anyone know where to find them?
Alternatively, how would you go about creating it? I understand the genetics of the colour pattern, but I'm not sure what bantam breeds would be best to use... and can be found. The genetics seem to be spread pretty far and wide in the bantam breeds... eg a Mille Fleur d'uccle bantam is not the right body type and will introduce feathered feet and so on... and I still need to find the mahogany factor... maybe from a bantam red cochin or bantam RIR....?
