Im back ! And adding that I have mature hens, and 1 Mature cock & 1 cockerel, and Im just too strapped for time to continue this project. But my final hens are of wild type silver, exactly like silver Wellies

Thanks so much ! You rock !!

Thanks ! And at this point I am just allowing what I have to grow, and at which time I can breed them back to the Gold Biel hens, exactly my plan. What I want to know, is if anyone else is working on this ? Anyone ? And to add to this, I just opened a business, so I am out with my birds at 4...

and in your opinion, what does that mean, that they lack the "crele" barring that the gold beils have ? I have to breed them back yet, so maybe that will improve then. I really like the "wild type" like the Silver Wellies, that was & is my target so in your opinion I should do what at this point ?

And @nicalandia .thanks for your help ! I am NOT a genetic expert !!

Hmmmm, that's not so bad ! Beautiful bird. By looking at the latest chicks I have gotten (shown earlier) do you think they will be this wellbar coloration ? My Silver Barnevelders are babies yet, and not so sure that a double laced gene would be a good idea mixed in with these, do you ? The...

the prices are killing me ! Seriously ? Why so freaking expensive ??????????? http://www.gradeehfarms.ca/price-list.html :barnie I have no intention of charging prices like that ! Of course you cannot get birds or eggs from Canada anyways, unless you spend even more money ! Outrageous !

Some of the Hen stock used to get this coloration in my Biel line

Last I saw the "Silver Beilefelders " in canada looked alot like Golden Cuckoo Marans, not Silvers, not the Silver coloration. I expected them to move on to getting a silver coloration, but did they ever ?

The bird in my avatar is a Silver Barnevelder, got a few silver coops going here

I can't be the only one doing this !!! :eek:

Thanks ! The right hand has a cockerel, the left has a pullet.
