Crele color

[Rare Feathers Farm]

How is this color "created?"

Or what color(s) would I need to produce it?

Crele is wild tipe e+ (Red Jungle Foul's black breasted red) plus barring.In what breed you want it?

The trueCrele color is Black Breasted Red + Barring.
You can cross a Black Breasted Red Old English with a Barred Old English.

You could cross Partridge and Cuckoo and get color pattern close to Crele but it wont be the true color pattern because it will not have the wing triangle in the bow of the wing...

Catlin (1991) describes how he made his own strain of Creles by crossing two Crele males with two unrelated Black Breasted Red females. From the mating all the sons were dark
(intermediate) Creles and all the daughters pure Creles. By crossing first generation males and females he extracted some pure Crele males to go with the pure Crele females already obtained.
Wolf (1991):

SIRE.....................DAM..................SONS.............................................DAUGHTERS
Crele....................Crele............100% Crele.......................................100% Crele
Crele....................B.B. Red......100% Intermediate...........................100% Crele
Intermediate.......Crele...........50% Crele & 50% Intermediate.........50% Crele & 50% B.B. Red
Intermediate.......B.B. Red......50% Intermediate & 50% B.B. Red....50% Crele & 50% B.B. Red
B.B. Red..............Crele............100% Intermediate...........................100% B.B. Red

Intermediate
In genetic term an "intermediate" male is heterozygous for barring (Bb). Females carry but one sex chromosome so a B- female would be called hemizygous; a BB (Black Breasted) male would be homozygous for barring.

Crele Cochins will be hard project.You can start with Black or Partrige Cochins and mix with e+ Old English (not eb ) and when you have pure e+ Cochins mix back to Crele Old English.That will be lot of work.

Well, I found some barred and I could probably find partridge, too............

I was thinking LF but bantams are so much easier to house!

Rare, that would definately be an awesome project. I much prefer bantam cochins, I just love the awww cuteness factor of bantam cochins lol. Anyway you have to keep us posted if you are going to attempt it or not!
