    Blue Barred Cochin?

    To darken the barring I would mate him with black barred hens and select the best barred chicks and continue to keep black barred in with the blue. Did he come from white birds?

    Is this a Lavender Silkie???

    To me it looks like straight up blue. That could be my screen though.

    When should you announce a breed project or color project?

    IMO I "announced" on my signature line here and of course the people I asked for genetic advise know what I'm doing but I won't be putting pictures up/selling stock until they breed true and match the standard. Just be sure to say they are a project up until you get them to a satisfactory point...

    Splash to Splash and Blue to Blue (Splash) Picture Reference

    Quote: You know I was wondering that too. I would think that the blue would be lighter from the splash bred bird vs the blue bred bird but we shall see. Both of these gals are in with my black cuckoo rooster so I'm excited to see what pops out! And Thanks! Perfect Lavender Reasoning! Just...

    Barred-acauna

    The top one is for sure a cockerel as is the bottom left. I cannot see the comb on the 4th pic so no guesses. I'm working with rose combed barred birds and my eyes have gotten sharp. Although genetically impossible I have gotten barred pullets from a buff cock x barred hen, most likely the...

    Splash to Splash and Blue to Blue (Splash) Picture Reference

    Kansaseq I'm happy it helped! And yes if you prefer darker splashes it's generally recommended to breed blue to blue or blue to splash. Although there is something to be said for the lighter almost pastel versions of splash. I'm a fan of them all! Lol give me the pick of 3 BBS birds and I'll...

    Hatchery vs Breeder Thread, Post your pictures and comparisons!

    Quote: He asks for other pro's & con's. Not just pics. And I think for those who have yet to get a bird they should hear from others experiances. Not just take one's word as the truth. Yes to all of the above! I was just looking to start a thread about the differences and comparisons. I...

    Hatchery vs Breeder Thread, Post your pictures and comparisons!

    Katy WOW! Those are awesome looking. I really like Feran lildinkem! Also just to clarify the Pros/Cons are in general. In general a flock that is expected to produce 3000 eggs per hatching season vs one that is expected to produce 8 show quality birds will lay better. Also I would argue that...

    Need info on breeding silkies - NEWBIE!

    If your not interested in show quality birds then your buff, white and partridge can go together. I've seen some very nice offcolor silkies. Your black and blues can go together. As for lavender if you cross with your blacks you will get f1 all black chicks carrying lavender, if you cross...
