Yep, it does indeed. While I fully approve of sharing with close friends and good breeders to help further efforts on projects, you still got to watch what you do or they end up everywhere. The part that really sucks is this isn't the first project the man has worked on that leaked out ahead of time. He also had it happen with his buff barred cochin bantams. Most of the eggs for them you see on eggbid trace back to birds he gave to a friend to help him work on the color.

Its been so long ago I cannot remember exactly, and I may have the gene wrong, might not be Db. I'd consult my old notes but those ones are packed away somewhere....I came across the info way back when I was attempting to make brownreds, lemon blues, and "crow-wing pyles" as I called them. I suspect E rather than Er base on some lines as I could never get hens with color in their necks (solid blue and solid black hens but brownred and lemon blue roosters). The feathering of outcrosses has a lot to do with the breeds used in the outcross. For example in white laced reds we have a heck of a time trying to get any length to the feathers due to the cornish blood in them.

Not to my knowledge, though I have recently seen a male partridge that looked very promising.

I've considered the term "barred" as well however considering we refer to the pattern as cuckoo it would make more sense to go that route. I had a w.c. khaki cuckoo rooster once, beautiful lil guy. One thing that is a bit of a prob sometimes is that they are named by who makes them. This proved difficult by the W.C. Khaki. The ABA originallly rejected accepting the color due to the fact that the color to their eyes was a fawn and hence wanted it called a w.c. fawn or w.c. dun. Eventually though the originator won out and they accepted the w.c. khaki in 2006. In reality the "barred or crele crow-wing" Polish would look very much like the golden cuckoo Maran.
