Just thought of another option...That's exciting you had good sales.. if you need eggs to replenish I can help but it'll be awhile, and multiple shipments with only the one pullet. And then there's that whole White male x Black Silver to consider. But I'm here for you if you need it...
What does your SBM pullet look like? If you posted it I must have missed it.That's exciting you had good sales.. if you need eggs to replenish I can help but it'll be awhile, and multiple shipments with only the one pullet.

were you sent a mixture of colours or is the white a recessive white which pops up? I can’t wait to see them as adults, I do like a good white marans cockerel.
I’ve got a fun project, I don’t know if it’s anyone’s cup of tea.Just thought of another option...
If you want a super fun BCM project I've got them eggs up the wahzoo.....
Either way I got ya covered.
you are right, it is a little terrifying. However, I have had a few neat looking males early on in the breeding project that had solidly straw colored wing bows.
Have you found that some forms of autosomal red affect the entire wing bow (and hackles), while some only affects the lower edge of the wing bow?
I do indeed have recessive white in my flock, I don't actively discourage it so it pops up fairly regularly. It came in when I added the blue silver group in 2016, but I didn't get one to show up until 2018. It was a shocker at first, I thought it was a splash until she grew up to have no color at all. Since white is really the only official color my flock produces that would be APA accepted here in the states, I let my daughter have them if she wants to show.... except there's like one show here in Montana and I haven't had time to travel for shows anymore. There they sit, anyways! It is like a little surprise whenever I hatch the marans group.
Yes from Bantambirds BBS Silver flock. He's recessive white.
