He’s pretty I see you’re dealing with all of the mud from the weather too

Those were older images when spring was just begining, and the ground became all muddy from melting snow. He got frost bitten even though I used petroleum jelly on his comb.

That’s actually a really great idea!

Why do you say that? What do you expect the results to be?

I dunno, I’m not a genetics person, but I assume it’d strengthen the color she’s looking for.

My main breeder is more short, and stocky mainly due to the barred rock in his blood. His father was a buff Orpington which was bigger then he is. I don't have the buff Orpington rooster anymore, he became roasted chicken, then soup the next day.

Here's the mother of my little roo.

The mother is a Buff Orpington/Australorp mix.

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.
