Hi Fruends, I’m About as green as they come chicken wise, though my chicks are now pullets and I have a few laying, so I successfully have grown up sone chicks.
I’m looking to the future and have determined my Bielefelders are my favorite bird, but I would like to introduce more silver into there coloration and potentially a darker egg. I’d like to stay as true to there genetic make up as possible.
On first thought I figured I’d just breed my hens to a lavender marans Roo and be good to go but then I looked into this more and realized there is no way that would actually happen.
So help. What are some good barred silver birds with dark eggs.
How many generations would I be looking at to see change? Thoughts comments.
Oh and as of now this is a personal project so any bird purchases need to be less then 25 a chick.
Thanks.
