Update on the blue brahma project birds.

Oldest rooster:

Youngest rooster (there is a hen who matches him as well)...he has a single comb though.

Gorgeous blue pullet

My blue cochin hen that has a pea comb on the left, blue brahma/cochin pullet on the right (same pullet as above pic)

Beautiful blue copper pullet

That rooster is so gorgeous! I might get some more Brahmas if I could have some in that color. Very nice! That looks just like my banty lav Cochin, Shadow, standing to his right.

Yep, that is my single lavender cochin hen standing to his right.

I don't even know what color he would be considered. I guess it is just blue with leakage....but almost looks like a blue partridge or something like that. Really neat looking guy. Nice personality too.

Oh WOW on that top roo Nella! He's a purdy fellow!

Here's my blue copper girl:

The pea-combed splash cochin roo that fathered these guys had a TON of red leakage in his wings. I'm pretty sure that's where the copper/gold is coming from. The silver on the males might be coming from the light brahma hens. Not sure if it's completely sex-linked, but it reminds me of when you cross a light and buff brahmas. Or is that silver and gold laced wyandottes?

 

[NellaBean]

Ooooh, between your blue copper girl and my blue copper girl, we could make some blue copper brahmas, LOL.

I'm working on getting a Light Brahma rooster to cross over the girls. I may separate and keep track of the best solid blue girls' offspring as I think they will be most impressive....she has no leakage at all.
