Here is a little side project I've been working on. I'm breeding French Golden Cuckoo Marans. We have a superb Buff orpington hen, who is my permanent incubator. I was curious and hatched one of her eggs crossed with my Golden cuckoo rooster to see If I would get barred Orpingtons. I ended up with a pullet with this interesting pattern. So she's half orpington.
Her with her father:
She turned out really nice looking, so I hatched a few more. The color seems pretty consistent with this cross.
Some of the chicks:
The young cockeral is 6 weeks old now:
So now I have a breeding trio. I'll see how they turn out in the F2s.
That's a beautiful bird! Tell me about her egg color and rate of lay. ️You maybe onto something!
