Blue Laced Black Cornish rooster

[KateBeauchemin]

My sister has a blue laced rooster with black feathers. He's gorgeous! The full sister to this roo, was laced the same as a dark cornish hen, but with blue under feathers. Anyone want to try the genetics on mixing the blue laced black roo with my dark cornish hens? (i'd put up a pic of the roo, but this posting pics thing has me baffled).


Thanks in advance! Eager to hear replies!
(got it now!) Will take pic today after work) THANKS!

Oh noes, you need to be posting pictures of that. No excuses!

Go to the "Uploads" tab at the top of the page. It will probably open in a new tab or window. Click on "Browse" by the empty box (underneath where it says "File"). This will let you find the picture on your computer. Double-click the photo you want to upload, then click submit. The picture will upload. Once the picture has uploaded, simply copy all the text in the "image" box (not the one that says "thumb," we want a big picture

) underneath the photo, then copy it into the body of your message. And there ya go. Easy peasy.

Now we wanna see that picture.

Oh, and

Oh they are both beautiful birds! That roo is amazing!! Did you get them from a breeder? I have never bought eggs off here, but would be interested in those!!!

Thanks for posting!

They were actually oopseys... My sister has white laced reds, reds, speckled, all sorts of mixed cornies. Not sure how she hatched them or who bred with who. Will have to ask her again. I have 3 dark cornie hens, and a dark cornie roos. She's gonna give me these two and put them all together. I want this blue color cornish gonna try my hand at breeding them all unless someone has an idea on what colors to breed?

WOW that is one handsome roo! And those are some nice examples of Cornish.

You should try improving and keeping that color.

The ones I just bought and these have longer legs then I like, but I love all cornies. I have a dark roo I bought for a dollar at a swap. There were 3, all sick swelled eyes, curly toes. My little guy has a crossed beek only one that made it, and not breeding, so I needs a confident roo, which my sis says this one is! She said my Little Emmett has a better body type then hers. He's more of the bulldog type, the shorter legs may prove hard when breeding.

Big Emmett (standard)

Little Emmett (bantam)

Mating the Blue Laced Cornish to the Dark (Black Laced) Cornish will give you 50% of each.
For breeding the longer legged birds are the best. Cornish have a lethal gene, Cornish Lethal, which when not present produces the long legged birds, when impure produces the short thick legged birds, and when pure kills the chicks in the egg.
The lacing on the hen needs a lot of improvement.

OK got the story from sis.... Dark hen with blue undertones, is the mother...
Father's were either white with black speckles here and there.
... or white laced red roo.
...or solid red

The other dark hen she has (not pictured) could be this one's half sister.

So at least these two blue aren't brother and sister. May get white speckled roo in the mix with them all anyway.
And mix with my 3 darks and see...

Anyone else have any ideas about get this black laced blue feathering? He's almost like a Blue Copper color, wonder if it works the same with the maran mixes.
