Crele?

Pics
Has the crele OEGB been produced only once. I can see it as a variety that could be done very easily since type for BBR very similar if not the same.

Hi Centrachid,
How are you doing?

This OEGB crele is from Cackle Hatchery website.

Looks like Cackle Hatchery has a wide assortment of OEGB. Some of the pictures are taken in show cages. This link is to the Crele:

IMO a project working on some of these OEGB would be such fun. Are you planning for the next breeding season?
 
I thought I had three Crele, but this male looks like a BBRed only the hackles have barring
Males have two barring genes, as you know; females have one barring gene. That said -- pair your probably single-barred male with your barred female and she will pass along her barring gene -- he will pass along either barring on non-barring -- so the male chicks from that pairing would be 50% single barred and 50% double barred. (the females would be barred or non-barred depending on which of his barring genes she got from her daddy. ) ;)

Here is Henk Mier's chicken calculator. you can play around with the barring gene line. (It defaults to wild-type BTW so you could probably get results you wanted by just manipulating the space for the barring gene -and it will provide the likely % of offspring with probably plumage pattern.

From the crossing of single barred (SF) male and barred female-- here's the Punnett square that was generated.

Here's Henk's picture from that site. He deserves adulation IMO

so many answers from his chicken calculator --with just a few mouse clicks...he does the math and he shows diagrams. !!!
 
Exactly the information I needed. I had read this i formation before and thought that he would throw those percentages with the females. Thanks so much! Really appreciate the detailed information on the genetics of crele and how it is passed in this variety of OEGB.
