This is one colour combo i can never see enough of, it looks really smart on the females with the Black, light grey and white effect, and Homozygous Cuckoo males look incredibly bright.
It also worked on Barred, but personally i like the effect on cuckoo.
You need to start with a Light...
These chicks are the same age and in the same clutch, the one at the top is what i believe to be Delayed Feathering, bottom is Normal Feathering.
top is typical of every chick with that sire (a Salmon) they're all slow feathering male or female.
bottom is normal for every other breeding group...
Just a couple of little things;
The Chocolate used in these examples, is the more common Sex-Linked Chocolate.
The Magnifying Glass is just a visual symbol of what gene a bird is 'split' for or carries, but can't be seen.
Sex-Linked Chocolate Breeding Examples

Please Wing-Feather Haters don't shoot me down!
I'd like some more advise on Delayed Feathering.
I know i need Delayed Feathering Hens to use to Feather-Sex.
But what should i be looking out for? is all Delayed-Feathering Sex-Linked?
I've got a Strain of Pekin who have considerably shorter...
Your half way there,
Lavender x Millefleur = black (usually) or rarely Buff-Columbian or Millefleur or Black Mottled
If you just get solid Black's don't be too disheartened, its harder to refine from black but not impossible. If you breed Blacks together you'll have a small but possible...
really? when I did the x I got both millelfeur and mottled...ish admittedly it just looked like leakage of white but it breeds better when 2nd gen breed together.
and Oops with the splash x blue I should know better I can edit tomorrow i'm taking a nap
I made these Yesterday (most are found on facebook either 'The Poultry Pages' a facebook group or 'Megs Eggs' My Chicken Account)
A few of the pictures are a little idealistic, but its a generalisation especially with the mottleds.
I'd Like to hear what other colour combo's people would like to...
That probably wasn't the best Title.
I was curious if there was anyone else who enjoys breeding projects for the rarer or different coloured pure breds.
I'll have some more projects lined up, one of which i don't believe anyone has had yet which will be Chocolate Lavender (Both marking need to...
Ohh MilleFleur Frizzles are my next breeding challenge, after the Porcelain, Chocolate&Blue Cochin, and well everything else I breed ;)
Sorry I forget we have different names for colours over here. we have blue (when doubled makes splash) I thought that's what you meant. Yes Self blue was the...
Hello Over-Sea's Breeders, Thought I'd Share what we're breeding over here ;)My Millefleur Breeding Group

All related to my millefleurs
Lavender is a Homozygous colour, (doesn't show in single gene form) So you need to hunt down another lavender to go with your one to breed, or spend 2 years breeding and inbreeding to get the lavender colour back up to Homozygous state.
Sorry my first post in the thread ^_^ so I wanna...
