    Hi Cecilia, we are very lucky to live in a very quiet part of Dorset surrounded by hills and woodland, for the pleasure of having green grass almost the whole year we have to suffer a lot of mud underfoot for a good part of the time, they are threatening a hose pipe ban in the south of england...

    Aspen, I see you list lemon cuckoo splits in the list of birds you keep, splits don't exist in cuckoo in any colour, if they are cuckoo they will show their barred markings, Ideally you need to be sure your lemon cuckoo cockerel is carrying 2 copies of the cuckoo gene ( double factor) if he was...

    I can probably shed some light on this one, prior to 2006 i had 2 bloodlines of blue laced orpingtons i was working on, no others to my knowledge existed in the U.K. at that time! one line was made using only orpingtons which is the line i still have today, the other was made using a single comb...

    Spent nearly 4 hours editing and re-editing to get that graph staight and thought i had cracked it, looks like i didn't its all gone haywire again and i doubt anybody can make head nor tail of it, it should have read partridge male x cuckoo female = cuckoo male single factor, black females...

    Thanks galanie for putting the link on for me, i would never have figured out how to do it, Crele orpington (cuckoo partridge) are still scarce in the U.K. the females especially are very hard to produce with the right colour and absence of barring on the breast, there are a lot of cockerels...

    I seem to have posted pictures of partridge into a new thread, don't know how i managed it! haven't a clue how to move it to this thread so if you go into PARTRIDGE AND BLUE PARTRIDGE ORPINGTONS you should see the pictures, as has been said using other breeds can throw up future problems and...

    Red Reiner, you are very fortunate to have hatched a hen with the potential to make a strain of partridge, the most likely bird the gene has come from is her father, normally first generation crosses from male partridge produce all solid coloured offspring with gold leakage around the neckline...
