Cuckoo leghorns
12 months
Hens
Heres an example...
Cuckoo is just a barred pattern on a black bird. I can pull the barred out and put it on other colors and patterns.
Barred on brown gets a crele or golden cuckoo type.
Barred on silver gets a silver cuckoo
Can also put a barred pattern on our buffs or reds.
Or i can bred barred to blacks and lose the barred pattern to improve the blacks. Can use the barred or blacks with the isabellas to get solid lavender leghorns or barred lavender. Then turn around and put the barred and lavander on a silver or brown and make a lavender barred silver or barred isabella.
Understanding genetics and an imagination equals a lot of breeding pens.
