Just bought some lovely Lavender Cuckoo D'anvers today! So excited. Of course, I have a question. I have porcelains d'anvers, and I was wondering if what would I bred the lavender cuckoo to porcelain? Would I get lavender, lavender barred, mottled, porcelain? My goal is to get some purely lavender birds out of it, but I don't know how
This is possible but it is a hard way to go. If you want to make pure lavenders, it would be best to get some good blacks and cross with your cuckoo's. The barring will be easier th get rid of than the mottling, because you can see it. Any your first cross will produce some solid black birds and some single factor barred black birds. Cross these and you will get some lavenders, blacks,cuckoo's, and lavender cuckoos.
