I have a roo that looks like a pearl, but with gray specks instead of the black. Could that be from a silver pairing? I’ll try to snap a pic of him in the morning

Yep, that be a snowie! (pearl-fee + silver). Yours is gorgeous Turk. Definitely need pics of yours Dana!

I don't have this color, but I want it! We'll see if I get any from my falb fee hens and silver male.

Did you ever get it

Did you ever get it

I haven't been trying hard, so not yet. I'm moving in six months, so I'm downsizing and will gear back up when I'm settled in the new place.

I’m actually trying for these colors!! Pearl
Fee is fee over Italian. So falb fee is fee over wild/pharaoh. Grau fee is fee over Tibetan, pearl is fee over italian. Two copies of the gene for Italian will give you the Manchurian color.
My goal this coming spring is to produce silvers with the pin striping that you see on falb fees! And also more like the one posted below with the high white wings!

I’ve been working on snowie celadons for a while now. I had a good group set up, but I lost all but 3 hens a couple months ago to a predator attack after a flood. My goal has been a homogenous group of celadons that all have 2 copies of fee and panda pattern, all hens have 1 copy of silver with 1-2 copies of Italian (fawn), and pearl males with 1 copy of Italian. This will regularly produce snowie and pearl offspring without double silvers, and a good mix of Italian and manchurian. I had a good sized group of about 35 and I was selecting my faves, and bam all but a few are gone.

Here’s my boy Apollo, he’s silver and roux with double fee:

I’ve got him with a motley crew of survivors.

I incubated all the eggs from the crime scene, and here’s what I’ve got:

most of then are male tho haha the Italian on the left is really pretty, he’s lightening to a gradient between manchurian and Italian. As you can see, many of them have Italian with wild pattern bleeding thru.

Yea!! I’m wanting to get into falb fee celadons/ Italian, pearl and snowie, all celadon!!! These are some of mine! First one is my current silver roo I’m using, last three are hens! I’ve also got a blue roo I’m the mix too.

If you are near NJ I have several silver wild tuxedos I’ll be selling, culling, taking to auction, basically they aren’t staying because I prefer fawn to wild. If you would like them and can pick up locally you are welcome to them, they are celadons or celadon carriers.

Here are 2 I’m putting in the big grow out today:
