nice birds. i also have a question about the silver gene. if you have a silver who also has the mahogony gene would it make the silver more of a golden?

Saladin; if she was a red wheaten, would her hackle be considered to be stippled? Also wondering if this is what is needed to help get the proper wheaten shading for the wheaten cocks? I don't know, but it would seem to make sense to me.

Mahogany on a silver can range from what we call golden, with light orange hackle with red shoulder, to silver bird with orange shoulder. Like salmon Faverolles. I'd say she is mahogany silver with the possibly being half wheaten, half duckwing. If she is mahogany, she will create dark color. Good color will come with a lack of mahogany If it exists in cubalayas.

R.I.P



Well, my last Ideal cockerel is finally gone. After waiting for a year for him to fall over and die like the rest of his brothers and sisters, I finally decided that I would breed him with some of the Silver Wheatens hens I ended up with. Two days later he escaped from the breeding pen and disappeared without a trace. Oh well, that was total waste of a year of my life. I guess it's BBReds only for me.

That stinks. If you have silver wheaten hens, breed them and you will get golden males. Then you can try again, without using the ideal males.
