[MysteryChicken]

I have some of those growing now

Cute.

I found a thread with Black Crested White Polish Project.

Okay I figured a few bases for the Moore Head pattern. It's Birchen, Birchen Split for Partridge, & Partridge based.

Birchen _ E^R/E^R

Birchen Split For Partridge _ E^R/e^b

Partridge _ e^b/ e^b



For this White Moore Head pattern. It has a combination of Silver, Columbian, & Dark Brown/Ginger/Black Tail.

Silver _S/S, or S/- (Females have 1 copy)

Columbian _Co/Co

Dark Brown/Black Tail/Ginger_ Db/Db

Another gene included is the Charcoal Melanizer _ cha/cha


But with the birds with Blue Moore Heads, they have the Blue Gene Added.

Never said they all do up to standard breeding, just that they're everywhere. In a place that focuses on meat and eggs first and looks/pets 90th, I can still find 5 people within 2 hours selling white crested blacks

Ahh your location must have a lot! I wish there were more APA breeders

I'm breeding towards SOP with my Orpingtons, & Silkies. Soon with my Heritage Plymouth Barred Rocks, which already look really perfect, just one hen has a few half barred feathers, a common flaw.
