Genetics of a calico princess

[Willowbird45]

You have them?
When did you get them?

Moonshiner....I love your auto signature and profile! I am getting some Calico Princess' (2) end of this month. Looks like I need to report some info on the web, so we can establish some breed characteristics. I am just looking for large eggs, and a bird that isn't noisy and problematic.

With enough knowledge of genetics and input from the breed(chick pictures and adult male and female pics) there is secret to their genetics. I did a quick search and these CP Chickens dont have a set phenotype, seems like mongrels that are columbian based

They were developed by a Czech company and had a set phenotype.
Hoover's imported parental stock eggs and started their own flock. Problem is I suspect Hoover's may have since changed the birds used as parental stock.
That's what they did with the Sapphire Gems.

Females certainly Vary in color, & pattern. Some look like red Sex-links but with some faded barring.

I've been searching for pictures of calico princess roosters, but can't find any.

I have three Calico Princesses I purchased at Agway that are 10 weeks old. They are definitely lighter orange and topaz in color.

I did a search for Calico Princess online and found a description stating that it’s a Czech breed created by crossing a “red barred male” with a Colombian female.
