From the thread I posted it seems as though he doesn't have that good birds. Try Carol Nesmith of blackwater gamefarms. He has great YLH i've heard. I'm planning on getting a possum sweater from him later this year.
If anything the Red would be a throwback from the whites. BBR (red) is the baseline color for all chickens and anything other than BBR would be a mutation.
Wow nice. Are they brothers ?Some white roosters I have bred.
Beatiful birds. Thanks for sharing this I'm just curious about the story of the white kelsos thats why i inquired about this. I'm not into white birds cause they're feathers need a lot of care. Some moult alot.If anything the Red would be a throwback from the whites. BBR (red) is the baseline color for all chickens and anything other than BBR would be a mutation. I highly doubt you can get a white chicken from a pair of reds without decades of selective breeding. I breed white games and here is my process. The white gene started from pure white spanish game hens I aquired a few years ago... I bred the hens to BBR American games. They would produce a variety of colors chicks, but I always kept a white pullet (or two), and bred them to a BBR or BR American... I have done this breeding process severel times to the point where I have 7/8 American Game but they still come out white. So Basically as long as you have a white hen (or white rooster perhaps) to start off with, you could breed the white gene continuously. White hen (notice variety of chick colors)And her Father and mother (also variety of chick colors, white chick may be hen shown above).
I am no expert on Genetics, but I do have results...
The pea comb is technically the uncle of the straight comb...
Only the straight comb rooster is a cross from Modern Pyle hen under Wild type American Game.
Yeah dont know much about the history of White Kelsos. yeah sorry I go off on tangents sometimes and start showing off pictures and stories. lol
