Hello Everyone!
I recently hatched a mix of SSC and Pansy Fee from Myshire Farm. They really take care with packaging and have great customer relations. Anyways, I really like the Pansy Fee, from what I can tell I ended up with what looks like 6 Pansy fee hens and about 7 roos. I also had some falb fee, sparkly, and a bunch of grau fee, which I'm thinking came from the Pansy Fee eggs rather than the SSC?. I plan on keeping 12 of them together to continue breeding and had some questions about how true they will breed and what my best options would be to keep as far as the colorations in the males.
In the pic below, I think the 2 in front looking at the camera are hens, with the 2 males behind them on the left and right (with another hen in the far back middle). Two of the males that hatched out have 'red' heads like the one on the right and there are about 5 like the one on the left which do not have a red head, but no speckled chest either. Which do you think would be best color variation of males to keep?
I plan on keeping 2 males to 10 hens in their breeding cage. I didn't have enough females so there are also 2 SSC hens, a falb fee hen, and a grau fee hen. I was hesitant to put a grau fee male in because I read that it is dominant and I'd prefer to hatch out pansys. Unfortunately all 3 sparklys were males. It would have been neat to throw a sparkly hen in there too though.
Thanks!
Edit: So stumbling through Myshire videos, could the 2 males with reddish heads be pearl males? since they cross pearl males with female pansy fee for best results?
