I think you have a melanizer or the eb allele acting on these birds. The birds are a bit redder hue and darker. I don't think it is autosomal red because the salmon breast( that I can see) isn't that darker salmon color. The females aren't bad. I wish you had a pure GSM roo to breed them too. Worth looking for one. Maybe from Bev Davis? If you could just shake loose a roo from Arla Meininger in Grayling, Mich. , you would be in like Flint. I was never able to get her to share any with my. Maybe she has changed her mind over the years. I don't know if Marie Cantrell in MT. still has any. You might try asking Walt Boese who runs a Black Powder and Archery shop in Deer Lodge, MT. I once found a flock at North River Exotics. I forget the State they are in.
I think there are quality Golden Salmon Marans in Ireland. There's a website out there called Irishfowl . Might try that.They are advertised here in the uk, and I just wondered if they were genuine. The trouble is, if I bought them, because they're the only ones in the uk, where would I get another bloodline from, or can I cross the females and the males together from the hatch? Many thanks for any info.
there is more than one breeder in the uk, I am in the uk and currently have chicks from two different flocks, early days, only 2 weeks old, but all doing wellThey are advertised here in the uk, and I just wondered if they were genuine.
