there are no bob tail in the line if there are bobtails here. the wild card here is the gene for spotty came from an australian pit game crossed to a modern game a few generations back. also there was a cross to english chocolate bantam orpingtons a while back. the hen came from a cross between...
I have been absent for a long time but have returned as I ditched social media.
This is a hen and her chicken and I am curious to know if anyone has thoughts on what could be the genetics of the pattern. She and her chicken ckl are blue. I have thoughts on the gene doing this but would love to...
the australian game was supposed to have hit some very tall heights. i have no idea whether they were tall stories or not, i just don't know. i have been trying to develop them in black with lots of size however this could take many years and this sort of bird needs plenty of room and deep...
oh i wish i could sell them...most of the time i am flat out giving them away if someone shows they care. hoping to sell 20 pullets at a produce store as layers for somewhere between $A25 to $A30 each but i think i will be dreaming. roosters just have to go into the freezer or to my hmoung...
LOL it is not hard to do just very time consuming. making silver indians is hard, sounds simple but this the best laced bird i have made yet and none of this years birds seem to be going to be double laced:

i enjoy this thread even if i do not look at it often. there is one black hen i see that looks beautiful, wish they would allow differnt colours in australia. but never mind even though the australians are so narrow minded it does not stop me from fiddling around with the colors. here are some...
sorry but i cannot help make comment here as things irritated me, i was googling studies on the gene lavender and found this by mistake. i cannot understand why no one else has cleaned this up
your mutts are eb or e+ as your definition of the chicken down is not concise enough to tell the...
i was thinking of refining them into the millie fluer pekin/cochin bantam line rather than have them as a self colour that way it will be interesting watching what dunn does to gold or any patterning. also this way it may go unnoticed and cause less hassels when trying to show them especially...
i have had a few set backs in my dunn projects from one hazard or other but i do think i am doing very well so far with my pekin/bantam cochins but cannot hurry things along:
i love that oeg bantam ckl and the orpingtons. here is one of my lavender cornish projects:
have not been able to get a good shot of the pullets yet as they free range and due to the lacing and the lavender it can be hard to get nice photos.
i have birds for sale, jubilee indian bantam ckls, lavender indiann bantam ckls, might be able to scrape up a couple of hens to go with a couple of large indian ckls, shame about the pacific ocean and a few possible mountain ranges being in the way.
