Creating Experimental Black Crele Chickens (Different Genetics, new variety)

[HuffleClaw]

Na. The chick is a result of a genetic mix of three different colors/patterns.
It is expressing that pattern because of mixed patterns. That mix will cause it to never breed true for its own pattern therefore it can't be breed towards any consistency.
It will continue to produce mixed genetics which will be luck of the draw in future patterns. Some will resemble it but many will not. There will be no way to lock in the genetics to recreate itself consistently or breed true.
Without breeding true there's no way to breed towards a desired outcome.

Well thank you for informing me

I guess you believe it will breed true for its pattern huh?

Don't get you're hopes up just yet, I'll have to test it out first.

What do you believe the genetic make up of that chick is?

Not breed true yet, but add more of the black, and buff to fill in the light spots that I don't want. Then I'll hatch another one of the Buff Orpington/Barred Rock X Buff Orpington/Australorp crosses to breed with the corrected color pattern chick when they reach breeding age.

Like I said, I have to test it out first to see what happens.

Sorry for hijacking this thread
But @The Moonshiner, how does breeding work with "3rd generation Blue Laced Red Wyandottes"? I asked a local and he said all offspring turn out to be splash Laced. Is that correct? And combs... if you breed a single combed Wyandotte to a rose combed Wyandotte which comb type will the chicks have?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Single comb is recessive so takes two copies to show so bred to a rose comb all would be rose but carry a gene for single.
But the rose comb could also be carrying a gene for single if that were the case it would be about 50/50 single and rose split to single.
IDK about 3rd generation because IDK what was meant with the first two generations.
Also don't know about producing all splash. There would be no reason it would unless it was splash laced bred to splash laced. It works just like any other BBS breeding.
Could of just been luck of the draw. Especially if only a few were hatched.

I'll get some pictures of my roos fiery red rump feathers. They're cool looking, and I want more of that color on my color variety.
