Good morning, everyone!

Ooh! Baby D'uccles hatched specially for me!! I'm getting them tomorrow... thank you, SIMZ!

BTW, very very nice lady to work with, so if anyone is thinking of getting hatching eggs from her, go for it!

If anyone is interested, I am selling my young flock of white D'Uccles, they are eight weeks old and I have eight pullets and three cockerels from what I can tell. They are from Ideal, I got them in an assortment and just don't have any plans to breed whites. I am in South Florida, local pickup only. I will take any reasonable offer. Thanks

What would I get if I cross a Porcelin with a Millie?

Unless the Mille is split for lavender I think you would get all Mille, but the offspring would all be split for lav and capable of producing porcelain.

Wow, you seem to "get" genetics. Unlike me.

Could you tell me what I'd get out of a Brown-red x Mille breeding?

What would happen if I bred a Self Blue to a Porcelain?

What would happen if I bred a Self Blue to a Porcelain?

You would get all self blue unless the self blue is split for Mille. My understanding is that Porcelain is simply double recessive self blue with the addition of double recessive for Mille. So, if one half of the equation only has one or the other, you will get birds of that phenotype split for whatever the parent bird doesn't carry. Mille bred to porcelain produces Mille split for self blue, Porcelain to self blue produces self blue split for Mille...
