Post Your Chocolates, Dun ,Khaki , Platinum Bird Pics

Hi all. I am getting this guy (serema). The owner said he was from her dun line. What color would you pair him with if you could, and why?

Thanks!

Either black or dun. Black will give you 50-100% dun (depends on whether he is khaki or chcolate). Dun will give you 50/50 khaki/chocolate or 100% chocolate (if he is khaki).

I'd also look for super typey girls, and let that steer you more than which of the above two colours to choose.

he looks to me to be Khaki so if it was me i would try to put him in with black based hens... the offspring should all be Dun colored...

Thank you guys! She said she had a black hen, but I haven't seen any pictures yet. Maybe I will get a black hen, then keep a dun hen from them that looks good, and breed her back to daddy. Unless I find something else in the mean time.

I personally love his coloring! I don't know if it is desirable or not, but I like it.

It's not recognized, but there are only a couple of varieties of serama that are.

I've read on the SCNA forum that there has not been a single "proven" dun in Serama's and not a single "proven" recessive chocolate in OEGB's
I would want to breed the dun to black to confirm it's actually dun.

I have a pullet that also looks dun but I'm pretty sure she's not, thinking she's blue plus chocolate or something else that dilutes.
left to right, silver wheaten, the "unverified color pullet" and a recessive chocolate pullet.



That middle pullet looks exactly what I would expect dun to look like. I have a solid black cockerel that I'll breed her to come spring and hopefully unravel the genes that make this color.

Not disputing it but there are so many genes that, together, can make this color. When you have patterns like his, it's even harder to sort through them all. Did the breeder provide any photo's of parents? That's where you can begin to figure things out. Duns and Chocolates have specific rules by which they breed. When you begin to understand how it works, you'll be able to see whether or not there could be a chance

If I take some photos of these "weird" birds, could someone give me a relatively dumbed down idea of what is happening? I tried to do research on dun or chocolate laced blue. Many said it doesn't exist and others state it does. It's very conflicting information.

post away. We'll figure it out for you. It would be an odd color as blue and dun both change black to their own color. So I would feel it would be tricky to get it that way. You would need a copy of both the blue and the dun gene in that bird, but when that happens you dont get either, you get platinum.
