Crossing Buff, Light, Dark Brahmas

[turrbrahma]

I am curious what you get if you cross these colors (buff, light, dark) Brahmas? Just wanting to learn more about this. Thanks

Buff and Light Brahmas are identical except for gold vs silver genes. Crossing a Buff male to a Light female will give sexlinked offspring for example, whereas the females are Buff, them males are "golden" - they're yellow with red shoulders.

Crossing Light with Dark makes for what most hatchery Lights look like - Mostly white with a lot of black penciling.

Crossing Dark with Buff makes for what most hatchery Buffs look like - Mostly orangey with a lot of black penciling. If the female is the dark one in this crossing, you get sex-linked offspring. Females will be heavily pencilled orange birds, males will be yellow, red, and black in color.
