Another newbie question... if I took this roo and put him with my regular double laced barnevelders, what happens with those offspring? Will they be brown, or a combination?
Can you explain your thinking on this? I suspect that it's a fault that would exclude him, but I don't think he's a cross, at least not within recent generations.
I would like to have nice healthy birds that are true to type, and will hopefully sell chicks from this group in the future. I managed a few pictures this morning of the two together.
I have five silver laced barnevelders that we hatched from shipped eggs this spring. Sadly we lost the blue rooster to a flying predator, but that's another story. I have two roosters in this group now. One of them has a few saddle feathers with slight brown coloration, the other does not...
