WELCOME!

WELCOME!

Thank you! I am trying to catch up went back to the beginning so I can see where you started. Do you feel you are closer to getting the color and characteristics you are hoping for?

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Well, if you go back one page, you will see five interesting birds from hatch before last, all of whom have a gold (or gold/silver) base, with a patterned wing. When I started, I had some red birds, and some patterned birds, but no red birds with patterns.

So yes, there is a little progress.

Current thinking -

And crazy means what?

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Crazy means I don't understand poultry genetics at all, and will keep (because I have lots of black birds, and birds with obvious blue gene that need to be culled first) - but that they clearly have traits I don't want, as well.

/edit Also, crazy on the left has a pattern that, in spite of the the silver gene (or perhaps because of), disappears real well on my property. Unfortunately breeding a s/g with another s/g doesn't give be a consistent bird, so doesn't advance my goals - however intersting it is as a "wrong way".
