Yup, some blue x grey stuff we played with a few years back.
Looks like he has some Toppie in him.What kind of grey is this?
That's not one of them flarry eyed greys or whatever they're called?
Everybody shows all the pretty pictures and I have shown very few. First I will concentrate on three birds (1 cock and 2 hens) that are each being linebred back to for three generations. Cock and hen will be bred back to for third and last time this season and another hen has one more season to go.
Cock (Red) that is what we call "dirty-Hatch". I do not know if he has actual Hatch in his background but if he does it is from way back.
Hen A (Sallie) that throws stags that are typical "Hatch-looking" especially as she is being bred to her male descendants.
Hen B (Speck) that carries alleles that make for brown-breasted brown red males and she also carries an allele that makes for a lighter colored base coloration. I have several like her as pullets but they do not breed true with respect to color.
I am playing around with some of their offspring trying to figure out the genetic basis for the color patterns they exhibit. After next year only the third generation line-bred birds will be carried forth in breeding pens.
Typical "Hatch-colored" cock.
Another dirty-hatch as a bullstag. He was culled shortly after but still represents point made.
Brown-breasted brown red cock from a couple years back. Breading this guy to hens like Sallie throws 100% dirty stags and about half the pullets look like the line B (Speck) hen.
