    Let's talk Cuckoo and WHITE marans... breeding strategies...

    You will get blue golden cuckoo (kind of) A real blue hen that is a dilute of a real E/E black would make a real blue cuckoo with a cuckoo male.You would have single bar males that are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I made this guy maybe last year?

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    I know it makes no sense. But that was based on a study on Black Wyandottes I believe. From what I have read melanizers that cause black plumage are too many to fully understand. I will try to find the reference for you. I do not believe this is the problem in the BC, I believe it is the same...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Hi Don, I do remember a conversation the I had with you and Walt about allowance in the tail of the cuckoo. I do believe that it is just an allowance before a fault and too much would be a DQ. Of course that was the Cuckoo not BC. Sometimes the white is not a genetic or color flaw but caused...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Hi, I have had marans for a while six generations worth and counting. I keep several "lines" of BC that I have meticulously picked over and hatched from. I won't say how many but those that know me also know I don't mess around. If someone wants to get a start on the breed, my suggestion is...

    Breda Fowl thread

    I love the look of that cuckoo in the pic I found. He looks so masculine compared to most of the Breda pics I have seen. I was actually considering a cross bird that I have at my uncle's. He is polish and lafleche and barred from the polish side. No shank feathers but the comb and nose are...

    Breda Fowl thread

    Hi, What I meant by not as big as I thought was I was thinking they would be Langshan size for some reason. As far as making them cuckoo, I am not doing it for anyone but me and I have the time and patience. I could care less if they are popular or not. My chickens are purely for my...

    Breda Fowl thread

    Hello everyone, I have some Breda on the way home right now. I Have wanted them for a while but just haven't had the chance to get them. What I really want to do is make a cuckoo version. I was actually thinking they would be more like the Lafleche and bigger in size, most of the photos are...
