Thanks Ray....

Well, 2 hatched, 1 still zipping and I can't see the other 4..

..got one chipmunk pattern and the other is wheaten down, both have all the markings on their head like a Db or Pg chick down pattern. I have notice my F2 cocopop project hatchlings are 1/4 smaller then the F1 chicks, I can't wait to see how they color up at around 3 months old.

dot on top of the head can also be Co gene... a lot of my mille fleur and porcelain OEGB come out with a dot or two on their head...

These hatched last month from my cocopop project, I don't know if you can all the dots and markings on their head....I will try to get better pics of them tonight so you can see what I am talking about....the one on the bottom is believe to be a laced/double laced cocopop silver duckwing in the making. I have a felling that my cocopop is a Db/db Pg/Pg (penciled/laced) with a dose of S in there and who knows what else....oh, and white ( according to Jerry ).....I am thinking recessive white.

Do any of you have any idea what color my 2 chicks will turn out to be? I have included a photo of the dad and both of the possible hens. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Sorry to hear about your loss girl!!!!

thank god, you did not purchase any new birds. I would of send the remainder of your serama packing and bleach down the pens before you bring in any new birds if I were you. Look on the bright side, now you can get some quality bird from Grady.

Good luck!!

That's exactly my plan!! Hubby will just have a stroke when I give these away since I paid a small fortune for them!

Think bleach will be sufficient on the dirt??? It's sand....and it's a HUGE pen, 35x12 so will be difficult to treat other than spraying down with bleach or something similar. Oh, and yes, I am sooo glad I didn't get any new birds!!!

Ok, in Sig's book on Serama Colours..........there's a pic of a lemon cuckoo. Does anyone have that coloring??? Pretty neat!

Hentyhmes- OMG gorgeous roos! Do you have any lav orps? I lost my hen to a feral cat and have 3 roosters left! I wanted eggs but am having a hard time finding them for under $8.00 an egg.

genetics are just genetics... as long as the parents look a certain way, there is a higher chance of you getting what you expect... and especially with fawn/dun, blue, choc dilute breedings, they are more predictable than you think... if you get a fawn, and breed it to a black, that doesn't mean you're going to get all kinds of random colors like blue, pinks or whatever... it means that you're going to get 50% fawn...

i'm working with fawn OEGB right now... very simple, but i'm breeding out the silver duckwing e+/e+ and trying to get E/E alleles... if you can do that, then you can do it in serama as well... just that a lot of their alleles and genes aren't hidden, but just over seen...

Hey Gumbii, isn't that how you make chocolate in oegb by X fawn and black???? I never liked the blk colored that is why I don't have anything in my flock to test mate on my cocopop project.

, I will just have to work with what I have right now.

i'm pairing up my khaki (IdId) with a self blue hen right now... they're still young, but whatever... we're waiting for jose to hatch out some quality black hens... his blue's keep giving him nothing but roosters... i have a gorgeous blue right now, but i really wish he was a girl... LOL... i can pair them up with self blue, blue, black, and i'll still get some incomplete EE offspring... but breeding with a blue hen will be kind of crazy... i dunno what i would get... i know i will get sport offspring, but not sure khaki or splash... or both...

believe it or not, black have the best type in most birds... even serama... i have noticed that black and BBRED have amazing feather growth and type... i think everyone should learn to breed black into their seramas... for the sake of fixing type a lot easier down the line...

the one with the dots on his head... mille fleur...

i dunno about recessive white... i'm thinking that those white are just khaki... are they born yellow...? because check this guy out... the dude on the lower right...

he turned into this...

this...

turned into this... a normal colored fawn silver duckwing hen...

one fawn serama with another fawn serama should make some khaki chicks...
