    The pullet's grand dad was a Silver Birchen clean leg Marans. She also has some of the gene I made when I crossed a Akers Buff Orp onto a Meyer hatchery mutt mix that had Black Australorp/Ameraucana that had the bantam gene hidden. Possible outcome from that breeding seems to be limitless. I...

    I know 2 different breeders who have Cuckoos who use them to clean out the brassiness in there Whites. they use them cause they have Silver. My friend who has White Rocks said to me his White Rocks when taken to my White Orps will not throw a brassy bird. Because it is a Silver. So MAYBE...

    You spot on DMRippy. I sorta thought the same thing. Funny when I was at Crossroads, Dick had about 11 cockerels he was giving away. This boy was the only one who had this look. I wanted him to take him for a specific purpose. At that time I had a Silver Duckwing pullet from my Birchen cock...

    My Dickerson Cuckoo that was given to me at Crossroads now has his daughter in with him. I screwed up and gave one other of his daughters away for free this past year. Nice 4 to 5 color eggs comes from her. I will hatch out very few to see what I can make with him. He was free, so I do not...

    Quote: I made my own Silver Duckwings. They are offspring from my Silver Birchen cockbird Bruno. I used him with a special hen that came about from my 1/2 Buff Orp and 1/2 Meyer Hatchery Black cockerel mix I call BUSTOFF's offspring. A total surprise from breeding these two together. But...

    Just got the perfect bird for my Crele project. He is a Dick Dickerson cockerel I was given for free. Just in the right place at the right time at the Crossroads Show. And have a half dozen Silver Duckwing pullets who will be ready to be turned loose with him when they get to the egg laying...
