Lavendar and Mille Fluer will make black so you would know who the chick was from.

Ok, so lavender would be a good one. I asked awhile back about breeding porcelain with lavender, but can't remember the answer, it's been so long, but with lav x black, I'd get blacks split for lav, right?

Is PB the sire of these chicks (w/exception to the white)?? Just curious as mine have all turned out Lemon, or have turned out to be cream/mottled. YES FROM BLACK babies

I might add ffrom colored blk babies (bicolors)

 

[Mrsfoote]

Anyone have any eggs right now I'm only looking for a few if you could send me a pm with colors and prices.

 

[speckledhen]

I can tell these lemon/cream colors are over my head. Such complicated things these genes are!

 

[Carolynspeeps]

That sounds very exciting!
GC, I sent you a PM.

Cynthia, this is JMPO, so please dont take it to heart, it's observation of MY personal program, and no one elses. I no longer breed porc x lav...I've found there is a "TYPE" of lethal gene between the 2, and the chicks always seem to hatch poorly, and those who do survive just dont have the "vigerous" will to live that many of the other varieties have. I'm not saying DONT DO IT, just my personal experience has not been the best outcome when crossing the 2 "Diluted" colors. Not to mention the chiks that have survived, lack in both beard and shoulder feathering. Then again JMO hun.
Funny how you can GROCERY SHOP for your birds and it's always MORE than what you buy for yourself...I'm guilty!

That's good to know. Misty, if Aubrey had to fill in with another color along with my porcelains, what would you choose?

My turn for the silly question of the day... how do you guys know who the sires of these birds?

With those of us working in the eastern side of the US, when should we become concerned with inbreeding, not confusing with line breeding (for those not aware of line breeding- Mother & Son, Daughter & Father).

I do realize this could happen eventually but rare is the chance. Not only that, but if someone could simplify genetics to better your lineage.
The thread that is for D'uccle Genes has over complicated my mind on the simple stuff, like if you need better feet, you take what you have, get better feet to breed, beaks, feathers and on and on you would do the same. Is there any way to simplify it? (some of you met me, Im a very simple person!!!!)
