Brahma Thread

If it is blue, as in Andalusian blue, then you have the whole blue/black/splash thing going.

If it is self-blue, it is resessive and requires a copy from both parent to show itself. But once you have it etablished all chicks will show it.

True, wouldn't have to be a light to test breed it, any bird with black would work. But why produce mutts.

In my experience, crossing a columbian patterned bird with a single laced patterned bird produces young that will more closely resemble the columbian pattern, with some extra specks of color, possibly partial lacing into the bib on the males. Not real pretty in either case. Usually took 3 to 4 generations of big hatches to get a few with the right pattern back again.

I was thinking that it would be relatively east to get a decent quality Light to work on improving type at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

I also found an expired listing on rarebreedauctions for a "Lavender Columbian" "Dan Powell" Brahma, so they are out there. I think the auction originated in SC.

Gary, have you eliminated the single comb from your SLBs? Sure seeing a ton of it in the GLBs and BLBs.

Single comb, or any comb issues really, have not a problem in the silver laced for a long time, but I think Reagan was still in office when that project started, so have had some time to work that out.

One the other hand, the blue laced red Brahma project birds still occasionally, and more so in the more recent Cornish projects, seem to be proud of of the Wyandotte contribution to their makeup, and throw a walnut comb every so often. Tim touched on this a while back, I think I really need to go over my hens combs very closely, and see if I can possibly pick up any sign of who might be carrying a single copy of rose comb.

I arm looking for potential show stock.

Are you looking for show stock or just eggs and meat ?

I don't know about Brahmas, but I have been able tell pretty reliably in the male Self-blue (lav) Ameraucanas if they are carriers. Not so much with the females.
