BREED PROJECT PICS!! Whos doing what?! ~~POST PICS HERE~~

[chickenwhisperer123]

I have seen TONS of people doing breed projects on the site lately and would like to see how they are progressing.

I would also like to have a list of whos working on what that members can refer back to when needed.

So.... Whos doing what?!?!

I LOVE PICTURES!!

I just started on an odd one.

I have a hen that has a nice U-shaped back. She is a Light Brahma x Black Australorp cross that came out with feathered legs...and all black.

I was hoping to get some chicks but hadn't separated her and the male. She was bred to my Barred Plymouth Rock cockerel. I was going to put her in with my Langshan to see if I could get more refined backs....but now I think I'll use her attributes for some nice Barred Langshan starters...

No photos yet...

You can bet they'll be coming when the pullet starts getting some feathering in!

I am doing chocolate lakenvelder at the moment.
The second generation is already up to speed on lakenvelderpattern but I have no full grown animals yet.

See
http://www.the-coop.org/cgi-bin/UBB/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=002481

for pictures. Difficult to see on camera, down the page is a color correction comparison to normal lakenvelder.

I am also experimenting with chocolate serama/japanese bantam which is not the dun gene as in the other project but the sexlinked recessive chocolate gene.

wait you have birds with the sexlinked recessive chocolate gene?

 

[Chickndaddy]

Not sure if Henk has the dun gene or recessive chocolate but he is overseas in the Netherlands I believe.

I like those Lakenvelders by the way. I agree that it was hard to see until you put the normal black cockerel up against him. Then you could see the difference.

I have both dun and sexlinked chocolate.
The seramas the latter came from are from the USA...

I took this pic a couple of weeks ago. The pullet was about 5 to 5 1/2 weeks at the time.
She is the oldest of this year's hatch from my lavender partridge Orpington project. I think this particular pullet probably has only one pattern gene. The juvenile barring is quite subtle. I don't think the colours come out very well on my camera, the light bits are creamy yellow in real life.

Blue Laced Red Cochins (maybe next spring, I'll have some F1's)

I also have some lemon blue x golden laced cochin juveniles that are turning out to STUNNING! They are almost looking like BLUE BUFF COLUMBIANS! I have a trio. They are about 5 weeks old now and I think they already have a new home.
