I’ve been working on an idea for some time now, to create a kind of breed that has feathered legs, dark blue/slate skin and legs, slight muffs, lays blue/green eggs, has a frizzled variety, and is a bantam size.
I’m planning on starting by using a black bantam Cochin hen and breeding her with a silver laced Sebright (both good quality). I’ll then breed pullet offspring(s) of those two with an Ayam Cemani x Sebright cockerel. I will then cross the Sebright/Cochin x Sebright/Cemani with a small EE that carries two blue/green pigment genes. I will continue the line with a frizzled Cochin.
I have never even attempted to do this before, so have no idea if there is anything else I will need to do. How do you start to breed true? How do you get specific colorings when all the crosses are finished?
