On dark braham bantam does only Roos get green feathers

I think the males will be the ones to mainly get that green sheen but the females should get a little bit in their tail feathers.

I have the opportunity to get a pair of uber high quality light brama. If I breed to my darks to bring up the type, how hard it it going to be to get back to the dark coloring?

I say go forward with the Dark and light cross. How else is anyone going to improve the Dark in either Large or Bantam. I made the cross several times over the years. Just be prepared to do some culling the first year.

Not very easy, they'll all be very smutty and you'd need decent dark stock to breed back to
