If I decide to bite the bullet and do this I'll keep you posted. You were the pioneer in this coloration and I really admire what you've done.

Jerryse - I love what you are doing with colors! I was wondering - have you thought about crossing the cuckoo lavender to Ayam Cemani to address the legs? I keep thinking about it but I "chicken out" when I think about actually trying it. Thoughts?

I was lucky enough to pick up a black silkied ameraucana hen this fall, so I'm hoping that in two generations I'll have some of these in a silkied variety.

Thanks, nex t gen will have more double factor birds so the pattern will be stronger. My leg color is still lighT, but I'm happy with their body shape

Finally got some pictures of my birds for this year. Still getting some gold bleed through on the roosters - but they are coming along nicely

do you have a picture? If you look close you'll see that these aren't solid color, they are "cuckoo" patterned (uneven bars of color)

wow, great leg color!!!

I was sharing this thread with a friend and thought I would post some pictures - looking forward to having offspring with 2 barring factors with the next generation!

I picked up two lavender cuckoo roos from Gooseandfig, but none of my roos or hens are showing the slate legs like you got Jerry. fingers crossed that I'll see some in the next generation.

You're one step ahead of me! My cockerels aren't quite old enough to put over the cuckoo hens yet, I was hoping to get some hatched before winter, but looks like its going to waiting until spring. I should be able to have some 100% cuckoo offspring in the spring as well through. I'm looking...

ok, I know this isn't the right place to post this, but thought I'd ask - I picked up a lavender cuckoo hen from GooseandFig - I had her in isolation, but some how she escaped and got into my Cream Legbar pen - just for fun I thought I'd hatch some of her eggs - They've hatched - I'm wondering...

I just picked up two lavender cuckoo roos from GooseandFig, as soon as they are old enough I will be breeding them to my cuckoo hens- I'll be interested to see the leg color. These guys have very light almost white legs -

very nice!

the mystery of the white chick has been solved..... um I forgot I had some blue wheaten eggs in the incubator what a dummy I am

sorry, please clarify what Fibromelanotic is again, I'm not sure I completely understand. Are you saying if this bird feathers out solid white, cross it with the Lavender cuckoo and see what happens?

thanks, I'll see how it feathers out and what sex it is, then make a decision as to what to do with it

Niclandia - could this be a recessive white that would help in finally getting the slate legs??? this chick has white legs, solid white feathering -

I have my first bunch hatching from this year and I just had a solid white chick hatch - I think someone else had this, but rather than go back and read it all, I thought I'd just post and see if someone has had a white chick pop up. I'm going to let it grow out and see what it feathers out...

I just now saw your post - send me a PM if you're still interested

I have mine in with my lavenders, so there would be no guarantee that you would get cuckoo pattern offspring out of my eggs. I only have cuckoo hens.. Once I get a Cuckoo roo, I'll have a better chance of the offspring in the hatching eggs.
