    Sebright with Spurs?

    They have spurs in all the sanctioned shows in the U.S. (relooked at my videos, just to make sure) Also, if you’re serious about showing Sebrights, I have Paul Holm’s contact up in the Napa area. He develops champions - and it’s the way to go… show quality birds will also have a much different...

    Polish Chicken Plumage Genetics

    For the laced birds you can get a classic sex-link with red roo over silver hen. If they’re switched it’ll be a tossup. Doing so too long, however, may cause leakage. Red and buff in either gender can work - some have used it to improve the contrast with the buff against white lace. But I’m led...

    Is it possible to bring back the true looks of the breed?

    Hi Robert, I can remember feeling similar to yourself 13 years ago when I revisited my child-hood hobby of chicken keeping -- there are so many breeds now! The best piece of advice is to ALWAYS START WITH GREAT BIRDS. All your hard work, money, and effort will be the same if you have poor...

    Golden Sebright Feathers

    A quick search on wikipedia explains Homozygous Hf/Hf vs heterozygous Hf/hf expression of hen-feathering. One CANNOT tell alone, by phenotype, what the genotype of the bird is. Especially with heterozygous males, they may show hen feathering after their first molt... or even revert back to...

    What genotype(s) make a chicken this color?

    Thank you so much for coming back to finish this thread. I was looking to see if #redpyle was the genotype I needed to bring #silverlace buff pattern to a breed that doesn't have silver lacing. Because #redpyle is dominant white and removes the black (keeps the red/buff), it is a similar color...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    Thank you so much for the additional information - that’s very useful. Sorry for the delayed response- I received a couple of shipments of silver sebrights as well as golden and white lace buffs in the past month - spring is always so busy -lol. Although they come from hatchery, the hatcheries...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    This is fantastic! The mystery questions have been answered! And thank you for the detail. There are very few places where we can have conversations like this and appreciated the input - it's very useful. I've found the chicken calculator a bit overwhelming in the past, but now I think I have...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    Thank you, that's very useful information. I don't think Lavender is black, but rather self-blue that breeds true, but I understand what you mean by "solid" color. Below is the chart I reference to keep my colors straight in my head. I thought using partridge Silkies with Silver lace cochins...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    This sizzle is a Smooth Sizzle/Silkie. It has no wattles & almost non existant walnut comb. The tail still needs some work, but it's much larger than most bantam silkies. Females tend to dictate form, but not necessarily size. I've had my female sizzles x Male bearded Polish = F1 Females...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    Thanks for the clarification. What color/patterns of EXISTING Modern Game Bantams should I use? 1st trio) Silver Sebright Male (color/pattern introduced) X MGB Females (form) = F1 Male Having MGB form carrying [1, 2, or 3] silver lace pattern genes. 2nd trio) MGB Male X silver sebright females...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    Where do those [pattern, restrictor and columbian] genes reside within sizzles' (smooth, normal-feather Silkies) colours or Modern Game Bantam colours/patterns? sizzles have solid colours, splash, partridge, and cuckoo. Which colours in MGBs should be used to produce Silver lace? I would use...

    Silver Lace Project Modern Game Bantam - Why Don't Gold Laced MGBs Exist?

    Yup, that's a big bird! Are you using show quality breeding stock? Lacking leg feathers, muffs, and beard. That flat, sickle-tail is the hardest gene for me to get rid of. Wattles still show up in F1, but the comb looks much better (thank goodness single comb is recessive). Also, what...
