TSC. I called last night to ask which hatcheries they use. The guy said, "They come from the post office". OMG! REALLY dude! I asked him to get the manager. She said Hoover (which I knew) and Townline. Townline has only just started their d'Uccles lines this year and only millie fleur and porcelain. Most of their bantams are also new. They look like they do a lot of turkey and duck business.
Looking up pictures of d'Uccles and cochins, it has to be a self blue. Neither hatchery has self blue of either breed. Could it be a "throw back" in the breading colors? Now I'm going to have to keep an eye out for more of them in the bantam bins! So beautiful!
Doing the happy dance!Lavender is recessive, so it can sneak in there, yesIf this one really does have muffs, then it couldn't be a cochin, which is why I went with d'uccle.
We have a Porcelain roo. Do you know what the color results would be if the baby is a she, and mated with the porcelain? Would the babies be self blue, lavender, both?Lavender is recessive, so it can sneak in there, yes
All babies from such a breeding would be lavender. However, if you then bred those together or back to their father, you'd start getting some interesting things popping out.
