Crele Wyandottes?

[Kolbeslayadayinn]

I'd like to dabble in a Wyandotte project pen come spring and am looking at silver/gold crele or cuckoos.


How would I start?

Tagging @NatJ and @Amer. They know chicken genetics and colors and might be able to help you. Beautiful bird, by the way.

Well crele Orpingtons are partridge based, not duckwing based like a "real" crele bird.
I would use Bielefelders and Wyandotte large fowl. If you can find some use Wyandottes that are black or buff or barred (if you can find it) because those colors won't have recessive genes that will mess up your crele project later.
