All my crazy projet ideas!

Do you want more chickens with his coloring or?

Yes, I am very happy with his coloring, and want to keep that color going.

Blacks and blues with red or gold leakage, more gold than the lemon blues but less than the BBRs.

Thank you for that!
If/when i get babies from them, I'll post pics.

Your best bet is probably to breed him to a black/blue hen with leakage

Ok, thank you!

What would be good breeds to cross with him?

Depends on what you view as “good”. I imagine you would get some chicks that are pretty similar looking to him (in terms of color) if you cross him to any breed with a columbian or birchen pattern.

Ok!
What would the offspring look like if I crossed him over a SLW? In theory..

You’ll probably get some offspring like him (black with leakage), and maybe some with partial lacing or gold/silver over their entire body. Since he appears to be gold/silver split, you could get male offspring with silver or goldish colors like him and silver or gold female offspring.

Well, most of my projects went down the drain...
I had my breeder hens die, I had to sell some, and certain projects just won't be doable in my situation.

I'm still doing some, though!
I'll update as soon as I can.

I'm not the best at breeding but at least I can tell the difference between a Barnevelder and a Brown Barred Rock.
Also, I know someone might've already told you the RxR thing but if you take a look here at figure 1 (because I'm sure you don't want to read all that info), you might somewhat understand what this RxR thing is. I personally never heard it myself so I found a random article and skimmed through and hopefully you understand what this RxR thing is but by judging by the article, it's probably a cell.

Do Lavender Orpingtons. Those are my favorites.
