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

[MysteryChicken]

Here's a couple of them that I had saved on my phone.

Better look at the Orpington. She's next to my huge silkie rooster.

Not exactly. You'll see one of my example chicks soon.

Due to the many restrictors found on Buffs, they will not be all black, many will have a dark crele look to them, but as far as I know no established breed out there based their "Crele" phenotype on heterozygous extended black, so all of this experimenting is for fun, take it as it is, I really don't think this will go beyond a few generations from an enthusiastic backyard breeder.

It should have a heavy body build of Orpington, and Australorp. Light to moderate barring, with flecks of color of dark tone, buff/red. Light grey limited, or non existent.

These are some of my standards for this breed.

Interesting! Basically, it sounds like you're trying to create a dark barred black with red and buff leakage. I've also thought about doing this, since barred mixes and buff black mixes have such beautiful, varied colors.

Okay, but I want a little bit more then leakage.

Here's what I feel the hens should look like.

The hardest part will be the hens as the drawing you just made clearly shows a salmon breasted hen with barring!.. short of e+, I don't see that happening, perhaps you are okay with orange breast and body?

I was going with how the mother looks. Buff breast feathers with black spotting.
