Awesome, awesome little birds!

Did you use White Crested Chocolate Polish to introduce the Dun gene? If so, have you had issues with keeping white out of the Laced bird's crests?

I've considered this project myself, I just didn't know what the finished product would look like, which kept me from getting started... thanks for the inspiration!

What color is the other hen that is pictured dust bathing? Solid Dun?

Yes she is solid Dun and my original hen that started my project along with a Khaki Hen.
I used The solid Chocolate/Dun Hen taking the dirt bath in pictures on my post and a Khaki Hen with a Bearded Gold Laced Rooster To get the color started and continued from there.

I do not have the Original Gold Laced Rooster anymore but still have the hens.

Chocolate/Dun Hen is in top photo below.

The Khaki Hen is in the bottom photo.

Well done! I love to see the projects actually getting off the ground and seeing real results!

At first I was very excited as I thought it was my Mauve silkie/orp cross. But its a pure silkie. Daddy is a blue partridge. Mom a blue or splash. It seems to be a heavily diluted partridge. Even its skin is lighter.

Hi all! I wrote in this thread few months ago, now I would post some new pics of the pullet (maybe.. I'm not sure of her gender) I talked in my first post here. She's the daughter of my frizzled cuckoo roos and dun hen and she seem light grey color! I don't understand.. so what color is she? Can I use this pullet to obtain the dun cuckoo or I have to discard she? Thanks very much! (Sorry for the photos' quality)

Hi Matt.
Dun can be several shades of grey, all the way to beige. Most of my dun babies are that dull grey, but every now and then I get a nice chocolate brown. Just keep breeding and watch the different colors appear.

Thank you very much Lorilyn!

For as gret as the duns seem to be, as chicks they are much redder than chocs. Here's a good example. The red, chipmunk stripped chicks are dun, while the almost black chick is choc. Also, the duns are carrying the yellow beak, while the chocs are sporting brown.


Just doesn't seem logical that the reds would turn greyish...
