So its kinda like going for all black but stopping at the mid point?

It's going for Melanizers.

If all I have access to is black and blue rosecombs what would I outcross to, to start the process?

It a variable type coloration.

Duckwing Rose Comb if available, but OEGB could do as well.

That's where I got mine.

Thank you! If I can't find what I want in hatching eggs from an NPIP flock I'll just start with Cackle stock in rosecomb and brassyback OEGB.

Don't know what I would do with out this place on the internet.

@nicalandia
Got a new one that may interest you.

Two of my 8 month old PBA in USA Project pullets have started laying, & they lay colored eggs. One lays a Teal(Blue Green), the other lays a Glossy Blue.
How common is this in Orientals, especially the old bloodlines?

The egg is darker in real life.

Just a recap: Their Father is Long, his Father is Goliath, Long's mother wasn't named, but a very beautiful Shrimp Tailed, short beaked Malay hen.

These pullets had the same mother as Long.

Don't take this the wrong way, but... Isn't Long one of your birds that was off-type for a Malay anyway? Wouldn't this kinda be more proof that he's not purebred after all?

This is Brassy Back with Barring on Partridge base. I think it's also called Furnace.

Furness is melanized gold wheaten, not duckwing or partridge.
