Lavender patterned Isabel duckwing barred - lavender brown cuckoo barred - project and genetic dis

[ChicKat]

Anyone new to this thread... shortly I'll post an anniversary update to the first post. I've noticed that lots of pictures in the early posts are x-ed out. Now this much later, I don't know what those pictures were....probably internet grabs that illustrated something or other, or maybe even emojiis that didn't come across when BYC last upgraded. Since I didn't label all the pictures.....now I have no idea what those missing ones were.
Sorry...
in future, I will try to label the pictures that I post in a better/more explicit way, so if the picture/image should disappear, at least we'll know what it was.

If you upload all the pictures to an album first...here on BYC..you will not ever lose the pics/get those "X" marks in the future.

First, let me just say I just found this thread and I am LOVING it. I love your project, your pictures and all the info packed on here. I'm only on page 5 and I saw this bird.

Back to the split non-barred pullet, she is shown here behind a split male - *who is showing some flashy white in his sickles. that means the pigment distribution was turned off completely while they grew - this is considered undesirable. Looks kind of cool to me, like a racing stripe, but it should be selected away from.

I have to ask - do you still have him? Did he keep the same white when he molted out?? I was wildly excited to see this, because what will the wealth of colors and patterns chickens come in, they are one of the few birds that do not come in pied!

Look through every catalog, every breed site, here, Feathersite - no pied!!

Somehow, some way, if it happens at all, no one has ever bred for it/established it.

If he molted out this way a second time and it wasn't some one-off, environmental thing, please, please breed this bird! Line breed him and see if we can get the pied gene - please!!!

I have Robinson/Jim, and that looks like who it is.

That's what I though but I don't know who that is...you'd know way better.

Jim with the guineas.

One of his sons also has the half-white tail feathers, but no barring. They’re fattening up in the bachelor pad.

Please breed him for pied.
Pretty, pretty please??
