And here is one of the youngsters from the little Cochin hen that went broody under a brush pile back in Jan.

I got three barred NN guys from that surprise hatch.

New pics of chicks from DDDs green egger NN eggs. They are both gonna be frizzled! The one in the second pic is so laid back and friendly. I'm actually hoping one is a roo, but I'll be Happy Happy Happy with whatever sex they are!!

The reason I am hoping one will be a roo is because I have these I would like to breed him to. Think they would be beautiful babies!
Oops! Pictures didn't post.

I would be inclined to say the light colored chick, a splash, will be male. Does it have a broad comb?

The cock you like seems to be a true crele. The others are not crele- more like barring over 'mixed color' birds. There is a very bad problem with people calling any barred bird showing color other than b/w as crele. It's long been a pet peeve of mine.. flares up at seeing mixed color birds being sold at high prices just because of the crele label... anyways:

Crele is barring(same barring as on barred rocks) on a clean red duckwing. That's it.

It seems you do like the true crele coloring as indicated by your comment on that one cock- he is showing the red duckwing pattern. The other birds are showing buff influence, that is why the others are so light colored. That NN cock seems close to crele- just has a gene from buffs or something changing the red to a buff shade and also adding too much colored areas.

It's easiest to study crele by getting familiar with red duckwing roo and hen color and patterns. Then you will be able to recognize what are true creles- the breasts on roos should be b/w, with a well defined duckwing patch. Chicks should hatch same as red duckwing- sharp chimpunk pattern except the colors is a little faded looking and males can have a white patch on back of head.

The first pullet can work for your project especially if she is related to the cock you like, but they will produce lots like her and also roosters with white/buff breasts instead of b/w. Probably could get some nice creles by breeding daughters out of the NN with that one roo you like the coloring.

Personally I would hunt around for a clean red duckwing hen of any breed or whatever type you like and breed her with the NN roo, should get some NN true creles from that.
