55 flowery hen 'recipe'?

Silver is dominant to gold so het silver males would appear the same as silver. It's tough to tell a het silver male from a pure silver male for a while for me. The het silver ends up with the yellowish hue eventually but it takes awhile.
I'm not working with silver plus mahogany either though so not sure what Mh may cause to chick down.

I'm know that Mh is supposed to enhance auto sexing potential. But these guys are only going to be het for Mh. My next step is to breed some of the female offspring to the sire. Also got a lot of breeding to get dark eggs.

Do you know of me on this forum?
 
I love genetics and have done a bit of breeding myself.
Had most of the breeds you've been mentioning but for the last several years I've just been breeding Leghorns.
I've been mixing/ matching and crossing to come up with new patterns. Some of what you're talking about except just with Leghorn blood.

The hens I have are; welsummer, welbar, cream legbar, Bielefelder, and crele penedesenca.
And I have a 55 flowery rooster.
Also got some FBCMs, and I'm going to breed them in to get darker eggs.

Have you worked with crele? And what kinds of new colors have you been working on?

Ya crele and silver crele. I had to make them so it's hatch many and get a few and a lot of what you don't need. I've got a lot luckier with the silver crele then crele.
I've hatched a few crele females but not a male yet. Something I've been working on besides was adding blue to gold and silver duckwing. Then I've been doing some blue silver crele lately.
I've got or had too many colors/patterns to list off the top of my head. You know genetics go. One idea leads to another then to three more then to man I need more breeding pens.

I currently need to build more breeding pens. I need one for my chocolate silkies, and I need some for my CASHH egger project, which is what I'm currently calling this project. It stands for crele auto sexing heritage hybrid rainbow egger, but I might change the name on down the road.
Right now the actual breeding is more important than what I call them.
