I've heard that lavender over buff will just create a bunch of red leakage that does not go away with continued breeding.. Now i dont actually know if thats true or not. I'd just like to create a peachy color and i have a buff and a lavender... so essentially i would like to create offspring...
Hi everyone,
I've heard that crossing buff and lavender is not a good choice. So i have a couple questions... I've seen as of late the isobel cuckoo orpington color take off. I've also seen some "Solid" isobel orpingtons AND some solid "peach" color orpingtons.....
- How is this solid peach...
Hi there,
I'm having some issues hatching some eggs.
I have a silver pencilled wyandotte pair. I have seen him mount her, and she is missing quite a few feathers on her back from breeding.
I'm collecting an egg a day from her and it seems as though the majority are developing but not...
Yes I think I would like to work on type first. The ones I plan on purchasing need some help with type, but colouring has also been muddled. So I will do what you suggest, work on type first but breed the ones without barring and continue to work towards the better type getting closer to SOP...
Awesome! thank you for your help!
Here's my next question... type is always more important than colour intially correct? So if i want to fix the type of the birds I would breed for that first and then worry about colour like you had laid out in your last reply.. correct?
Ok so if some of the birds do not have barring then their offspring will not have? If a male does not show barring he will not give it to his offspring?
Let's say i get a dozen eggs and some birds have barring and some do not, males and females... what should I do to hopefully get rid of the...
Is it possible to get rid of barring in a blood line for good?
How would one go about this?
For example, barring gets added to a colored bird that shouldnt be there. How would one continue with that line not knowing who has barring in their genes.
The end game would be to try to get the barring...
@PEI chicken I've also been hearing about double mating to improve the males and then the females... I would like to show them someday so I will be trying to improve them and then trying to breed for the best coloured males and females at some point. I think this year may just have to be seeing...
I have some silver pencilled wyandottes that I'm looking to learn to double breed. I have only a pair and they do need work which i was aware of.
So im not sure where to start exactly other than just hatching as many chicks as i can.
Positive suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks...
I realize this is an old thread, but could we start this conversation again with regards to silver pencilled wyandottes?
I understand the idea of double breeding sort of.
So if you started with only one pair of birds, say the silver pencilled... what would you do? hatch as many chicks as...
Hey there! i'm new to BYC... I have wyandottes and am looking to get more and begin breeding towards the SOP. We currently have silver laced, gold laced, blue laced red, and may have a pair of silver pencilled next week :) Originally i didnt like wyandottes, no clue why, but then i saw my first...
