There is only one thing I think may be wrong and that is the percentages that BBB stated.
Using the calculator when you cross a Lemon Mille Fluer to Black or Blue Mille Fluer.
This is what it seems to say.
F1 are Black or Blue Mille Fluer split to Lemon Mille Fluer. 50 % Pullet and 50% Cockeral
Now for the F2 you can take the pullets of F1 and put back to the Lemon roo if that is where your lemon came from or you can pt the cockerals back to the hen if that is where the lemon came from.
or you can do like I am trying to do.
I have three distinct hens in with the lemon roo. One mille Fluer one Blue Mille Fluer, one Splash Mille Fluer.
When I go to collect the eggs from them the hens will be segragated or marked with food dye on the buts which transfers to the egg.
in this manner In will be able to mark who's chick is who's and try to keep strait 3 different lines that all originated from the Roo. Tus trying to start with some genetic diversity for further Lemon to Lemon crossings.
we will see how it goes.
Though that was pretty much what I said, other than I went with the back cross of the offspring, but yes, breeding back to the parents, that's right
Sorry BBB I was reffering to the post 931 where it was indicating 1/3 mille, 1/3 split, and 1/3 lemon.
