Campines as with any other Gold/Silver pairing are sexlinked for the first generation. With a silver male and a golden female you will get Silver Pullets and Golden Cockerels. If the cross has been done in the past on the birds you use you may get some outliers depending on the genetic make up...
Could you please link again? I'd love to see this. You're not in US, but are standards close to the same? Pattern wise, with so much variation called for in the different sections of the bird, do you have any tips or hints to share that might help one make progress in this area? In your...
Think this is a big problem with breed in general. I haven't been able to find someone else online that has experience breeding to standard to ask questions. This is my first year with the breed and I have lots of experience and know the standard very well, but don't have firsthand knowledge...
Hey guys its bit quite time but start collecting photos, I noticed in the CSU thread that Campines are next once they finish what has been an excellent time with the Welsummers. With a heads up I hope many here can get some good pictures, input and discussion when it is time.
Might depend on the line if that cross has been made before with those lines they might carry the other color and then who knows. I've done the gold silver cross before in other breeds but am new to Campines, my Langshan mentor raised them and did the traditional cross but I didn't pay much...
If you use a Silver cock or cockerel (don't know what a "roo" is but using that term won't make real poultry people take you seriously) over Gold Hens/Pullets you will have sexlinked offspring. Pullets will be Silver and Males will be Gold unless there's some dilution genes present. You may end...
Just wanted to share a photo of my ~20 week old cockerel. I'll try to get a photo of the pullet soon. I think he's coming along pretty well but would welcome input.
