Thinking about breeding these guys together next spring.

He looks pure. He should be more puffy in appearance if he were mixed. But who knows.

I hatched him and I didnt start with any pure gamecocks. He could be 1/8 though. I don't know what generation he is.

male 1/2 Orpington 1/2 American game
female 1 American game

offspring 1/4 orpington 3/4 game

If I had a fertile male in that group, it could have bred back to the original female and given 1/8 orpington 7/8 game

I'm trying to recall if I had any cock(rell)s around

 

[ackie]

basically I just let my birds do whatever so I have no idea

but I think I will intentionally breed the white-ish roo with the white-ish hen

Punnett squares are a blessing in disguise.

Definitely! I imagine there was only one breed of every living thing!

Good morning, everyone! Sad news, Alvin passed away last night. But, at least he is no longer suffering.

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that but you're right, no more suffering and he was well loved while he was here.
