how do you make crele?

[1Chick Magnet]

I have a barred rock frizzle cockerel and am wondering what I can breed him to to create crele. does anyone know?

Crele is BBR plus barring. I'm not sure which E allele rocks are typically built upon, but if you mate him to a BBR hen, the offspring should be crele.

Barred Rocks are typically on extended black so a crele would be unlikely from a first cross. You would need to breed to a duckwing/wild type, take the offspring & breed back to duckwing/wild type.

Crele was discussed in this thread; might be helpful.

I have thought about crele wyandottes and crele rocks and a good cross would be to cross a barred rock/wyandotte rooster on welsummer hens. The type is somewhat similar to rocks, single comb, red earlobes and all.

This is not a typical result for a colour bird crossed onto a dark cuckoo.​
