Making new colors out of these colors?

[Illia]

Yep, as said. Isabel is what happens when you introduce Lavender to gold. It mutes the gold down to a creamy lemon yellow color instead of a golden red/orange color.

Hope you don't mind I use some Chicken Calculator photos, Henk69. . . For visual aid, this is a normal Wheaten.

And this is an Isabel colored Wheaten Notice the red goes down to a yellow.

Thats quite fascinating about the isabel. I think i have made a choice of dun, blue, black, lavender, blue gold duckwing, and maybe the blue silver duckwing and black phoenix but not sure about those to yet

Are Platinums Homo. for both Dun and Blue, Het for Dun and Blue, Het or one and Homo for the other, or does it even matter as long as they carry a least one copy of both ?

one of each, else too light (comparable to red pyle). That's why you can make them in one generation.

OK Thanks And you are referring to in a Red Duckwing patterned bird too right ? Do you have any pics of a Platinum bird, I've only saw one picture of a Platinum Sumatra a while back and dont really remember what it looks like.

All of those colors already exist in Phoenix but if you just want to attempt to remake them, whenever possible it would be much better to use Dutch instead of OEGBs to out cross too if that is what you are planning on doing.

I am getting these colors in phoenix already hopefully around march or april. However the black blue and dun am getting in another breed

Is Boggy Bottom Bantams the one your are planning on getting them from ? If so remember that he only has a pair or a single bird of most of these rarer colors and will most likely be breeding them for himself to get his numbers up so I wouldnt expect him to have much to sell from them in March or April.

I have bantam WC platinum Polish in solid and cuckoo. I personally LIKE the color, but I've found that some people don't care much for it - its either not dun enough or blue enough for them. Sorry, no pics just now, but I'll see if I can get some soon.

Yep, for real. It started a couple years ago when I got a "weird" colored mixed breed hen, sorta by accident, with my blue partridge silkie rooster and one of my WC khaki cuckoo Polish hens. Everyone thought she was an off colored lavender, but there is no way she could be, as neither parent had lavender in their background. I kept researching, and found out about platinum - I liked the color so well that I decided to make it a Polish project last year. I'll be working more actively on it this year tho.

The bird in your avatar is STUNNING, Henk - you must have the most AWESOME flock imaginable!!!!
