i love my roos

I like my Roos too.
1) is Salmon makes the best colored babies.
2) is a Blue Copper we'll se about him have babies incubating now for New Years Hatch.
3) is a Red Barred, his hens have just started laying again. He is the best for making NN's he carries the double NANA gene. So well see about colorful babies come about Easter.

Here are the first pics of my F2 Aloha x NN crosses. (I've been working on an "American" version of Swedish Flower called "Aloha" chickens, with bright motting)

Remember I used the NN hen that introduced the NN gene, because she was a HUGE buff hen with bright yellow legs, and I needed the size and leg color she had! The Naked Neck gene just kind of "came along for the ride". LOL.

Here is the first cross. I just LOVED this rooster's color. But had zero body type. Narrow chest, skinny, no "meat" on his bones. Did I mention he had nice color? LOL.





And here are some of the "kids" from that cross. Remember that Mottling is recessive, so the spots pretty much went into hiding, though one hen does show a few spots:





Now at last the third generation. There are various roosters wandering around so dads are Buff Sussex / Mottled cross, Aloha (very spotty) and I also have a couple of GIANT sized purebred Speckled Sussex roosters to bring in size. According to the stats, the chicks should end up about half spotted, and most of the roos have pink legs, which is a dominant gene. (That means most of the F3 NN chicks will probably have pink legs, but all will carry the yellow leg gene from Mom.)

So here we go! These are either 3/4 Aloha, 1/4 NN or they are 1/4 Aloha, 1/4 NN, and 1/2 Sussex:








Spots have returned in many of the chicks! As predicted, the legs are pink, but all the Moms have yellow legs, so the gene is hiding in there.

I hatched out 11 more like this, and they were sent to my friend Debi in Tuscon, AZ. She will be picking out the nicest, most spotty hens from this group, and will be crossing her with the rooster from my F2 experiment, named "Robin":

This means they will be a bit line-bred (he will be bred to his sister's daughters) but the roos to these chicks are "outside" blood and there are several boys so should be plenty of genetic diversity in the flock.

If anyone has nice yellow-legged Buff Columbian color NN's you are welcome to contact me about a possible egg swap. Looking for eggs from hens like this:

Large hens with light buff color, yellow legs, black tail tip. Rooster needs to be red, brown, or buff. PM me if you have something like this and want to trade a few eggs. Would be to get my friend a few "outside" bloodline hens for Robin.

Will keep y'all updated on how the "Aloha Naked Necks" develop.

Love what your doing w/ these. They are nice now, but I can picture where your going and how pretty they will be when you get a few more generations in.

I am so glad you shared all these pics! The genetics of poultry breeding truly fascinates me and what you're doing is fascinating. You have some really beautiful birds here and I can't wait to see what future generations look like.

I'm definitely interested in some trades in eggs but need to wait until closer to Easter. March 15 th is the last date to set for the Easter chicks. I have in with my Salmon NN rooster one of the buffish-red hens a partridge the mottled partridge that I've posted picture of and two barred hens. The barred hens chicks should be Sexlinked. The cockerels would be barred. The pullets tipical black Sexlinks. I have one run with the red barred rooster with a silver, buffish-red, and a gold colored with black ( I think basically a golden laced that hit messed up in the genetics). The last run gas a ( I call) blue copper rooster with hens: blue copper, golden laced and a white hen. Right now there are two more hens I. There but before I start collecting for hatching they are coming out, they are small and I'm taking them out of my flock. I'll contact you later by pm.
