Pekin colours

[Fraoch21]

Hi does anyone have some sort of chart or just information of the different colours of pekins you can cross to produce pure colours. Such as blue x black(or splash) or black x chocolate?
Reason is I've just bought a random selection of pekin eggs and im hoping there are some I can cross to get more pure colours

In most cases, you want to breed like to like. As you noted, there are a few exceptions. If you tell us what varieties you have, (or might have), we will try to see if there are any compatible pairings other than like to like.

Ive bought eggs from these colours:
lavender
chocolate mottled
black mottled
millefleur
wheaten
buff
silver partridge

plus 4 just marked as 'pekin',
1 marked as 'frizzle' which i think will be a gold partridge,
1 marked as 'pk'
and 1 marked as what I think says 'ucip'

the only ones that look like they could be mixed are black mottled and chocolate mottled; you need to contact the seller and ask if the choclate is choc or dun. And ask about the frizzle, pk and ucip.

I agree with Sonoran Silkies. Wait until they have their adult plumage, then post again.

You can produce other variates but it would require a strict breeding regimen and three or more years to produce a different variety. No simple one way cross.
