Black-Tailed Buff & Blue-Tailed Buff Marans Discussion Thread

One of my RIR hens (left) Wheaten FM rooster(middle) and now laying black-tailed buff FM (right)


RIR egg on top, first BTB egg today on the bottom. I was expecting darker eggs and my Wheaten 'pullet' turned into a rooster. It took 4 more weeks for her to lay than our RIRs. She's a bit flightier than the RIRs and the lowest on the pecking order. I bought them from a breeder in Loxahatchee, FL. I'm considering hatching a few of her eggs (BTB/Wheaten cross) for our home flock.

I am not experienced with Marans but genetics are my Forte, I could assist you on your breeding program if you need help grasping the genetics of the Black/Blue/Splash Tailed Buff Maran

id love to see this in Empordanesa here though all we have is white to work with
though Partridge , wheaten , crele and black penedesenca are closely related and Catalan
 
I'm new here but found this thread interesting. How do you get a Buff Blue Tailed? I have just gotten some chicks started and I have 3 Buff Black tail pullets (we think), 2 FBCM pullets, 1 FBCM roo, and 5 FBlueCM pullets, 1 FBlueCM roo (hope I said all that right!). I've been curious what the chicks would look like with the Black or Blue roo over a BBT hen? I'm hoping to get a BBT roo eventually to have more of the BBT. I'm still learning all the breeding and genetics, so was just curious about this. Thanks!
