Hi Peter, I wasn't thinking anything akin to double mating when I wondered about the richer colored hen. I don't feel it's needed and still remember the chaos that came out of the yards of someone years ago who actually was breeding in that direction. I was just wondering if once in a while using "too much" color balanced any tendency to go too light. Seems according to what is seen anyway that if anything too light is more of a problem than getting too much color. But we never know what someone is culling. I admire the German birds and their beautiful color which is said, like you described your old strain, to be very consistently produced. Selections that are influenced by color are dealing with details and not major differences between birds. Good luck getting your genetics sorted and your numbers built back up.
