I can't wait til my EE's start laying and have my Splash Orp rooster over them. Then I will have blue EE's.

Could be although EE somtimes will throw you a curve ball on color.

Yeah, that's one of the things that make them fun.

Those Polish-EE crosses are so unique! How did you end up with a white hen from a Blue EE and a Buff Polish?

The way it was explained to me was that the Buff Laced Polish carries a recessive white gene that when breed to other colors cause the chick to be white with the black flecks in them.

The hen has the black flecks but I'm not sure you can see them.

When my Malays ansd Saipans mature, they will be crossed with my standard buff Brahmas. I have females and males of each breed. Not sure where to start yet. Id like to add the mellow temperament, good laying, and more feathers to the outstanding orientals. How fun. Ill post pics.

Indian heaven that will be an awesome cross! Well, I just candled my dozen cross eggs yesterday at day 8 (Yes, this is my first time and no, I couldn't wait a minute longer

) and they are all showing development! I could even see good vein formation on 3. It's going well!

I would love to see some folks create large fowl birds with the exact type lacing as Golden and Silver Sebrights! Wouldn't they be awesome?

Blue golden cubalaya x standard dark cornish/sebright hen

I don't know that I believe this cross. Last time I saw sebrights, they were a tiny little bird-- I highly doubt that one could be covered by either of the two breeds you mentioned if the other breeds were good breeder quality.

Let alone, something with a mentinable ammount of such tiny blood produce a bird of this size as shown in the pictures.

Why would you disbelieve it? The man said he bred it. I'd just take his word for it instead of calling him a liar.
Cubalaya aren't a ery big chicken themselves.
