So I have a mauve hen under a black cock (mauve hen appeared to be blue when purchased as a juvenile. After first adult molt, it’s clear she is a mauve).
What are the color options on offspring? I cannot seem to find a definitive answer.
I am searching for someone who has LF blue jubilee orpingtons for reference pictures?! This is becoming a harder to find color and every thread I’ve found or breeder I’ve found, no longer exists. Can anyone help!
If I put a black split to lavender rooster over a mottled lavender hen, what are the color outcomes?
Will half be a split to mottled?
Half black and half lavender with half of them being mottled and half being a split?
I can’t seem to figure out how this crossing is going to work.
So I have several American lavender orpingtons and a Black English roo.
I want to breed a lav hen to the roo. Out of that hatch, if I breed F1 hen back to roo, will F2 turn out closer to English Orp characteristics? Is it possible to breed all the American characteristics out of the generations...
Thank you for your reply.
Let me ask this. If I breed first generation cockerel back to the chocolate hen, do I then run the chance of a chocolate mottled? Since some of the cockerels will have the recessive c gene? Also, if that’s the case, would the third generation then produce sex link due...
So I’m pretty new to the genetics game. Prior to now, I’ve just bred your standard birds such as RIR, Barred Rock ect.
I recently purchased a Black Split Orpington rooster. He is split for the mottled gene and a Chocolate Mottled hen.
So what I’m trying to figure out is what colors are going...
