Quote: A lot of breeders experiment.... You just might not know of it happeing. Right now i am trying to lock down two breeds for one project (that i need to cross with one of my current breeds) i am guessing this project well take 10+ years to get where i want. I am also locking down another...

Quote: It's not an official name. It was meant to distinguish this color from regular Bankiva Partridge, which the English and British call Partridge (which even though may be genetically the same is visually distinct from this) and American Partridge (which you might know as concentric laced...

So, if this color isn't English Partridge, and not-quite Gold Duckwing, what would it be called? Or do you think I could get away with calling her and her descendents Gold Duckwing?

Quote: The other factor of this hen is she almost definitely carries Silver/Red (S/S, ?/? (some sort of Red modifier)). You can tell by her overall coposition. I disagree. She looks gold, textbook gold... Maybe we should ask her what she thinks?

Quote: Exactly. The most beutiful and useful birds are sometimes barnyard stock, and this is something interesting to do with those mutts.

Quote: The other factor of this hen is she almost definitely carries Silver/Red (S/S, ?/? (some sort of Red modifier)). You can tell by her overall composition. (deeper upperfeathers/coverts/shoulders; cream hackles)

Quote: Well, that doesn't change my breeding plan anyhow. Either way, English Partridge or Gold Duckwing, I'll breed her to a Silver roo. That way, unless we're both wrong, the color should easily reproduce itself. (Yes, I know, there will be some goldens. But I'm prepared for that.) Also...

Oh by the way, does anybody know what a non-columbian-cocopop bird looks like if this bird isn't? Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated.

Quote: When I first got her, your sentiments exactly, 'Neat. A gold duckwing. I'll take that one.' But as soon as I got a good look at her back at home, I noticed the distinct difference: Below is the EP Bow Lake hen: Below is a purebred BBRed OEGB: This is why the color is called...

Quote: I haven't made this very public until now, but, the two birds you see here are the only living birds 'accounted for' (the many other specimens have been distributed as 'Banny hens' (Barnyard bantams; Mutts). I have no way of knowing where they are now. I do not feel these birds deserve...

Quote: Yes she does. Although the breed's background can only be speculated, it is very probable that there is OEGB blood in it. This breed has a couple of fundamental differences though: 1) the size difference. These birds are sized in between Mille Fleurs and Pekin bantams. Much bigger...

Oh, and, if anyone knows the name for a (e+/e+, S/S, Ar/Ar) bird, or if a name doesn't exist, a proposed names, please inform me. Thanks

Hello everyone! I am working with a new breed that originated in my area (this breed has been dubbed the Bow Lake. It is a bantam that is very hardy and rather broody). Recently, a new color variety has appeared as a sport in a flock of the now-extinct (well there is 1 hen left) Barred Bow Lake...
