I'm working with another breeder on the Silver Salmon hens and Duckwing Roos. He came across new bloodlines.

What is the source of the new bloodlines?

Two roosters came from Georgia via Alicia Albury to the Ohio Nationals where they were picked up. I will post a pic of the roo later when I get home. We already swapped hatching eggs.

Good for you ! Really hope they work out for you! Georgia,
would that be the breeder in Barnesville? Connie Zullo?

just signing on to this thread, as i have a birchen pullet from April Howington who's apparently got a duckwing parent, and has produced what April identifies as a a silver wheaten pullet and a duckwing cockerel chick -- they are just about 6 weeks old now:

will be watching them with great curiosity as they grow out! and trying to get my head wrapped around the genetics at work here...

If they have a birchen parent they will probably have some melanizers
which will be obvious later when the chicks are older.
Silver Duckwing is e+/e+ S/S (-)

You can create a Silver Salmon using a Birchen Marans on a Golden Salmon hen. I intend to hatch as many Silver/Golden Salmons as I can this Spring - Fall and cull out the ones that aren't French standard.
