Blue Seramas?

[bantiesrule]

Gorgeous little hen Becky!!! That's what I'm looking for. Hopefully, I'll find one.

She is pretty and I wish I could get a black roo out of my bunch to mate her with but I seem to end up with only black hens. I have a promising little chick from someone else though so we'll see.

Now that there are blue Japs, wouldn't it now be better to cross in from there, if you wanted to make blue seramas?

Sure, but my point is that there weren't any blues to start with.

The results here suggest that we are talking about sexlinked chocolate ...

Blue doesn't hide that easy, chocolate does.
Dun carrier? Same story. Dun always shows unless you have some form of white covering it.

Yes, I understood what you were talking about I was just asking a separate question. Thanks!

If you are crossing other breeds in to get a blue, how many generations does it take before they are considered pure again? If they ever are?

 

[catwalk]

I'm told that it takes seven generations to show acceptable Serama type again. That means getting enough f1 birds to preserve the gene that was imported without having to outcross again. IMO, a lot of work!

Seramas are character-birds.
