After asking around it seems that a Legbar cockeral over an Ancona hen would be the best way yo start. Then it would be a matter of crossing the off spring for a couple of generations to fix the recessive mottled gene and the chipmunk markings on the chicks.
I like the appearance of this very rare breed but I can,t seem to source any. So I wondered would it be possible to create my own line by adding the mottled gene to Cream Legbars using my Anconas.Any idea how best to go about it ,how many generations would it take
Thanks
Hi all, are there any breeders of exhibition quality anconas on this site. Have you any advice on selecting breeding stock to produce the ideal bird, most importantly do you have separate pullet and cockerel breeding pens similar to leghorn breeders.Also how to the best show birds compare with...
I have a few black mottled x dominant white birds in the yard. I wonder what is the chance of getting some nice dark black mottled birds if I breed them togeather. The birds I have are almost completely white but all carry mottled .
thanks
Has anyone bred a strain of bantams specifically for high egg production.If so how many and what size of eggs do you get.Also what size are the birds.Are they good or poor winter layers.

she is a cross bred dairy type goat. It is the five year gap from her last kid that made me think breeding her would not be successful.
might try it anyway,thanks
I have recently been given a 7 year old nanny goat, She has not been bred in the past 5 years as she was just a pet.What are the chances of her breeding now after such along break from her first and only kid.
Thanks.
