wow - very nice

 

[thecochincoop]

thank you

the F1's were the result of a partridge cochin and a blr wyandotte. F2's were the incomplete blr hens crossed with a mille cochin roo. I took the F1 hens and F2 hens crossed with a F2 roo to get my F3 birds which are the result of all those interesting colors

OMG that red and white!

Can you explain to me the concept of kaliedescope? What exactly is the pattern and color you are shooting for?

 

[bhazell123]

WOW those are some very pretty birds

 

[thecochincoop]

i started working on a BLR pattern but don't have the time and space to breed the quantity of birds needed so I am working on red and blue eye candy with the idea of BLR in the back of my mind

That sounds awesome!

So how did you start?

 

[thecochincoop]

i started with a partridge bantam cochin and a blr bantam wyandotte

do you sell any of your projects that you don't plan on keeping?
