In about 2-3 years, I'll be creating a new Breed of chicken called the Emerald Dragon.(Discussion)

Here's a picture of some Crele English Orpington chicks, they seem to vary alittle.

I will update when I start the Emerald Dragon project, but it won't be for awhile though.

The Easter Eggers are only being used for the Blue egg genes to make green eggs for this particular breed.

Shiny Black like Sumatras, with long fancy tails.
I may get blue, black, & splash, but that's okay. The Malays, & EEs are blue, or have blue, so yeah. I have one Malay that maybe Khaki, so I may get Duns, out of it too.

Yes.

Thanks, I'll have to get it registered by the APA.

The person knows they're project birds, & notified them of the variations of colors they may get.
The chocolate brown colored one is a partridge Barred, or Crele, the black one might have been an accidental cross with my Heritage Rock, there's a yellow with a dark mark on the head which is a Wheaten, & one looks like it maybe Buff, or Black Tail Buff.

3 of the eggs were from my Buff Orpingtons, 1 was from the grandmother of Goober, & 1 was from my F1 Wheaten Crele Orpington hen. The chick from my F1 hen died.

Can you explain what the "F"s mean? I hear it a lot when people talk about Olive Eggers. I want to know more about these chicken genetic terms.

It stands for generations. Scientific terms can be confusing.
