I tried getting advice on Cochins International, my first response was not the best. Why do I want to start a new color when there are so many colors that need improving? I felt a little put off but then recieved an email from someone else who gave me encouragement and good advice. It may take years but what have I got to lose? I think you are right about the red/ brown possibly with buff? It's so hard to find red/browns though!
That's not true!
fdnick just bought a herd of them and I will have some I am sure, as she and I are planning on working with the Lemon Blues...which is a mutation from the brown/red coloration, so much so that a lemon blue roo X a brown/red hen should have 50% each, and a lemon blue Splash X a brown/red hen will give you 100% lemon blue chicks.
Crazy huh ?
Yes we will have a few brown reds.
