No. I still need some really outstanding boys.
So far I have a tall lanky boy who could use more weight and height, and a big beefy boy who is colored like a Cinnamon Sussex but with yellow legs.
There is a promising teen boy who is probably half Buff Sussex. Not a lot of Mottling, but he does have some visible white - not just a stray white spot on the tail like a "carrier". Size is fantastic. Legs are white / pink like a Sussex. His size is awesome and all his babies (when crossed to mottled hens) will have visible mottling to some degree. However, I do not know if he carries the yellow leg gene.
I may have to try and breed specifically for a new rooster. I am kind of thinking of taking my "best" new teen girls shown here - and maybe crossing them with the Buff Sussex rooster? Or the Cinnamon Sussex cross rooster? The Buff Sussex boy that I have, he carries Mottling but doesn't really "show" much of it. Just a tinge of white on the tail and wings. So his kids may not show it either. I would have to pen these two awesome girls with him, hatch the babies, and keep them separate - and keep track of the boys, knowing they carry that awesome color and yellow legs from the Moms, though they probably would not show it?
If I crossed the girls with the boy who looks like a Cinnamon Sussex, I don't know if his color would "carry" or if his kids would FINALLY lose that white color and be Mottled or Buff? A test breeding would be mega helpful! It's a rotten, rotten time of year to hatch babies, but I might have to do it regardless. A nice rooster out of that awesome teen hen would be great - I really want to spread her genes through the entire flock, she's so lovely!
Yellow legs, that is going to be some my problems to overcome also. A lot of my Naked Necks have dark legs some with a bluish tint to them.
Another thing is that I have babies that hatch with yellow legs but as hey grow they start looking whiteish. When I breed again. Ghe new babies (some if them) hatch yellow legged then the same circle again. Does this mean that they are still yellow legged? I don't feed a lot if corn, been told this helps the yellow stay yellow.
