A. Is anyone working on creating these?
B. Without crossing to a BLRW, what would be the best way to create this project color?
My thoughts...
Cross a Gold Laced Cockerel to a Red Hen --> per the chicken genetics calculator the F1 (A) cross will be Black patterned red
You would also need to
Cross a GL cockerel over a blue hen --> the F1 cross from this will get you Blue laced (B) and black
Cross a F1A ( Black patterned Red) from the first cross with a F1B (Blue laced) --> F2 cross will be a huge variety of genotypes and fenotypes... in the mix should be a BLR or an incomplete BLR. This would result in hatching out hundreds of chicks...as the BLR looks like it would be around a 1% hatch rate
Breed the best BLR F2 birds together for F3 and so on and so on....
Do you think this would work? Or better ideas?
