Anyone want to brainstorm with me on creating silver laced D'Uccles? I've been thinking about this one for a while and I have notes upon notes of how I might do it :)

Which would make sense with dominant white. Who knows what he is hiding :)

White is the epistasis of all color, meaning it covers color. A bird with two copies of dominant white could be hiding any colors but appear white. Recessive white is the inhibition of all color. A bird with two copies of rec. White will be the purest white because no other color can be present...

Chicks homozygous for Vulture Hocks present with the feathers for vulture hocks as early as 1 week :)

You could use Artificial Insemination. Serama roo x JG Hen so the embryo has room to grow. I would expect the need to assist the hatch.

That's probably the toughest part of this whole project. I would give it up, but I'm really hooked on the looks of vulture hocks :lau

I like this idea! :) I'd have to cross the F1's back into Sultans though to get Vulture Hocks. V.H are recessive.

White Jersey Giant.

I have a wishful thinking plan for some non-specific mix. I don't even know where to really start. What I want: A large, very large standard sized bird. roughly 9lb female, 12+lb male Bearded, muffed, crested and featherfooted. Possibly with vulture hocks. White to begin with. A small comb...
