Show off your barred crele cuckoos! :D

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

Yep, it'll just take some work.
I am still learning on this genetics stuff myself, so yall correct me if I am wrong, but here's how I believe you should attemp it.
Take a roo crele to your s. blue hens.
your F1's should be black
take the male from them back again to your s. blue girsl.
this should give you black, s. blue, and s. blue barred.
Take the barreds to each other at least 1 generation to get all the others out of the line and pure them up to the lav. barred

as for the porcelains, you can, but it's going to be a much harder process.
I plan on doing a similar cross in my d'anvers this year.
It's gives you all kinds of colors and patterns, you'll have some soild body color, some pied, some barred, some barred pied, and all types of body colors, you'll have to select and pick and choice the ones you want to work with from there and continue with then to pure up the color so that it'll breed true. Like I said, it's a much more drawn out process, just becasue of so many colors it will produce, same with millie fluer, which I also plan to work with on the cuckoos


Good luck to ya, the lavender will be your quickest project there!

A little correction to the Barred crossing.

With a crele roo on the the s.blue hens, all of the F1s should be crele colored, but they would carry one lav gene making them split lavender, you should be able to cross these (split lav) creles back to the s.blue hens and you should get about 50% split lav creles and 50% crele isobels,( the black barring in the creles would be diluted to lavender and the red barring would be diluted to light buff/cream ) which is what I believe you are wanting, right? These crele isobels should breed true at this point if they are crossed together.


I'm not sure about the other cross, go with what Aubrey sais there.

Good luck

This guy is just gorgeous, and he looks so proud.

I can't have a roo, limited to four hens max, but darned if these handsome fellas aren't tempting.

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

I knew it was something along those lines. I didnt use the creles, just cuckoo on mine, so that mixed me up a bit there
And yep, got the "blacks" (black cuckoo) the first time, which were yes splits actually, then the second year got the true lavender blues.

So would a cross of Barred x Self Blue be a better way to get a Barred Self Blue than using crele x self blue?

I know i could get a Barred rooster if this would be a better way to do this?

I think a Barred Self Blue would be Beautiful

Same with the Porcelain would a Barred work Better?


Doe's anyone know the combination for breeding Blue Brassy Backs?
I have a Trio of Black Brassy and would love some blue ones

This is a Lemon Blue Roo with 2 Brown Red Hens

Depending on what you want either one would work and would take the same amount of time, if you used a barred, yours would be the color of Aubrey's s.blue barred d'Danvers, if you used a crele, where the red is in the crele, would be a very faint, diluted buff cream color.

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

yep that's would be the way to go,
As for the bluing up of a color,
Take any color, brassyback for example here, and cross to a spalsh or andalusian blue . This turns the black , blue in your birds.
Out of the eventual "blued " birds, your production should be about 50% blues, and 25% each main blacl pattern and sport pattern
Same can be eventually accomplished on most with self blue, only difference is their final offspring would breed true to the lavender pattern and would be a lighter blue...

Ok so I can breed my self blues to my brassys and get lavender brassy back?!?!?!?! AWESOME!!!!! Can I breed a either way and get the same offspring? EX. S.B roo over B.B hen or B.B roo over S.B hen?

Okay I'm going with the Barred x Self Blue as I'm sure i can get a Barred roo

I have Lemon Blue Splash but that wouldn't work for a LBS x Brassy to get a Blue Brassy would it?

Which would be the best bet Self Blue x Brassy or Blue Splash x Brassy to achieve the Blue Brassy

I was told i could only use a "sport" to get Blue Brassy i have never found one of those? or seen one?


Would these same combinations work on Modern Game I"m very interested in these and want to breed them?
I only have 2 pairs i got at the show Lemon Blue Splash and the other is Brown Red I'm hoping to get some very nice Lemon Blue Moderns from crossing these.
