@dreamwallaby I would like to follow the evolution in color of your blue cockerel. I am working on blue jubilees myself but with the Wyandotte bantams. Pullet 2 might be just a split for the mottled gen. Good looking flock! Keep us posted

With a little luck his offspring shows that same groundcolor and featherpattern. Not that I haven't seen great looking jubilee Orpingtons here, but the marking on the speckled Sussex looks more neat/refined than on the Orpingtons (and Wyandotte bantams ). Still putting together how to get that...

When it comes to speckled Sussex, I think I only saw them once on an exposition. They aren't common at all her in Belgium. There was one hen I liked (picture underneath) but she wasn't for sale. Now I have this 5 year old rooster that is looking really good. Judge for yourselves. I don't...

@bramblefir Where your cockerel is showing clearly the bleu behind the white tip of the feather, I miss that in two of my project birds. I hope to see some follow-up pictures so I can keep comparing. This couple shows the right amount of blue in their wings and neck, but that's it...

@bramblefir (and others) I would love to see more pictures from your blue jubilees. I am working on this color but for Wyandotte bantams. What I have noticed is that in some young birds, there is only the white dot without the blue or with only a very little of blue. I have another...

For one simple reason : I breed Wyandotte bantams and not Orpingtons That might not have been clear in my previous post. I joined this thread to learn from the breeding experience the Orpington breeders have, just as I joined the speckled Sussex thread. It is not my intention to bore you with...

Started working on blue jubilee Wyandotte bantams. Crossed a jubilee cockerel with splash hens and a blue laced golden hen. In 2016, the F1 will be put together with a jubilee cockerel. How were the blue jubilee Orpingtons created? Anybody with pictures of the F1/F2/F... or valuable tips? Always...

@mollybuck Those two look exactly like my crosses concerning their color. Hopefully you'll get some extra cross chicks this hatch, because with just this pair, a little misfortune can boycott your plans. I believe your jubilees show more dan enough white for a breeding flock. Sometimes...

@mollybuck Both options should be possible. Putting your blue cockerel (out of jubilee x splash) over jubilee hens or your blue hen (out of jubilee x splash) with a jubilee cockerel will bring you one step closer to those blue jubilees. Always put the next generation together with a pure...

@mollybuck Too bad your splash hen didn't make it. She looked very pretty. Luckily you got some chicks from her. On these pictures, I can't tell whether they are pullets or cockerels, but since I am no expert at all when it comes to Orpingtons, I will leave that to those who know what they...

@mollybuck This is the first year I made this cross. Only thoughts and expectations, no experience yet. So far, the chicks out of jubilee x splash appear to be mainly blue with some red accents in the chest. I expect more and more red coming through as they mature, but this first year they...

@mollybuck and all others that are interested, I have some new pictures. 2 older hens, left : blue laced gold x jubilee, right : splash x jubilee. 3 chicks out of blue laced gold x jubilee, the chick with the lightest blue is a hen, the black marked chick is a cockerel, still have my...

jubilee x splash gives 100% blue and split for mottled jubilee x blue gives 50% blue split for mottled and 50% black split for mottled You'll need to put the blue F1 back to jubilee to get pure blue marked jubilee (12,5% chance on blue marked jubilee). Other colors you might get are blue and...

@mollybuck I saved some pictures on my computer that aren't mine but from a Belgian breeder of Asseels. Hope to see you start the blue jubilee project!

As mentioned earlier, I crossed a jubilee cockerel with a splash hen. You'll get the same chicks + black colored downs as @SanderB explained. I don't think you'll see lots of red those first weeks. Here are my jubilee x splash and jubilee x blue laced gold chicks at one week old ...

I'm working on this with my Wyandotte bantams. Parents Chicks (also 4 pure red porcelains) Red porcelain x splash hens Red porcelain x blue laced golden hen

Interesting discussion about the down coloring. I breed the jubilee Wyandotte bantam variety and see those same down colors. Since last year I started to follow the individual differences between the chicks with different down colors. Eventually I only had 2 roosters with those stripes on the...

I am now working on this color with the Wyandotte bantams. My first step was a jubilee rooster over a blue laced golden hen. I have 8 chicks so far but will be hatching more soon. Parents :

Thanks! Actually I am referring to the pattern in total. My problems are the following : -Red leakage in the white 'pearl' -Too much black -Too white -Not enough black (wing and chest) I do have one older rooster and one young cockerel that I really like when speaking about...

I really like her black and white markings! Also the red is that kind of 'dark red' which is desired. I breed Wyandottes in the same color for 2 years now. That colorpattern on your Orpington is my objective. My current generations are still to messy colored (too much black/white). Here you can...
