They are gorgeous! I'm very tempted, but my incubator is full, so maybe I could bid another time.
I only have d'uccles right now, but have been interested in BB too. May I ask if these are breeding true 100% of the time? Are there other colors popping out from time to time?...as with some new colors.
Also, I don't know the genetics of this color. Are there other colors you would breed along with these, or take them back to? Do I make sense? In other words, like breeding Mille with Blue Mille, or taking a Golden Neck back to a Mille to get better background color, etc...

These came from porcelain. They are on the 5th year of developement and my older trio was the first generation to be 100% correct in color and type both. Their offspring, including my younger trio, were all true in color and I have the best 3 as breeding stock. There are of course other scattered offspring here and there.
I can not take the credit for developing these beautiful birds as I aquired them ready to go from two very tallanted breeders who were generous enough to enable me to have these birds. A HUGE THANK YOU to Brian and Allen
The birds are in their 6th year of development now. As with any new color, there is the chance that once in a while a chick will revert to characteristics from their origin stock. Spangling is a remote possibility.
