Cubalaya Thread For Sharing Pics and Discussing Our Birds

Okay,I wasn't sure if the cock and hen labeled were the parents or not...just out of curiosity, did you use white birds in your crossing to get your fireworks color?

I did use a white cock that is 50% Fireworks line and bred him to a Saipan hen that obviously carries a spangled/mottled color as it needs 2 copies to express itself. This fellow is the great grandfather to this colorful cockerel. I believe this is mainly where this color comes from.
This is my main Fireworks color producer.

Okay,that's what I figured,because he looks like a spangled colored bird,but with extra white,and really cool looking. Also,I am doing a little research with color mixes with chickens,and I was wondering what another name for black breasted red would be? Is it like brown red,or something else? More preferably with bbr cubalayas,since it is a little different,what would that be called technically? I am really trying to figure out what color I would get if I crossed a bbr cubalaya rooster over a porcelain duccle hen.

BBRed in Cubalaya is normally wheaten. For some reason it says bbred in the standard. It should be called wheaten.

Okay,and I did that in the kippen jungle chicken calculator thingy, but the result was black patterned gold...can you explain to me what that is? Like I don't even know ever to begin with that.

They also called it gold black duckwing. I have maybe a slight idea of what that could be,but I'm not exactly sure.

Black patterned gold wheaten is what it's called. You will have to use the hen for your ground color as the BBred and Wheaten roosters look almost identical, even in real life. By far most people do not know the difference in the roosters' colors.
Here is a wheaten hen.



BBRed hen color.

Is this kinda what you're after, except it should be in porcelin?

Idk,the chicken calculator thing says that if in crossed a wheaten or a black gold(which I'm assuming would be another word for black breasted red) that the outcome would be the same,black patterned gold,or gold black duckwing. I'm assuming hat would be black breasted red though. Except with the above picture,that definitely looks like what I would hope the result is,except a little bit of a self blue coloring mixed in,as porcelain is really just self blue with mottling.
