The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

I thought about calling just out of curiosity but figured it would end up like that.
I called that hatchery that advertised the blue leghorns and thats how that one went as well. Still curious about where they came up with them from or if that's what they even were.
They only had them listed this year and said they were sold out for the year when I first saw them and asked.
They now say they in all likelihood will be discontinued and not be listed for the next season.
That's seems strange to me.

@The Moonshiner ahem.

 

[The Moonshiner]

What do you mean? If I had the name "pearl star" as a variety and wanted to create a pattern that I thought fit with the name? Or?
Sorry i keep getting distracted today.

Using the words " Pearl and Star", what would you used breed a Leghorn that would fit that name.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Heavy on the white exchequer's excessive mottling over a production light brown with dilute like a legbar and lavender.
Basically a production light brown with lavender to make an Isabella then add dilute to lighten all the straw tones even more then throw excessive mottling over everything.
A mostly white bird with random patches of light lavender and hints of very pale yellow.

Exchequer rooster over a l. brown hen with lavender in her?

More likely an Exchequer a “opal” Leghorn. Do those exist or are they just isabels?

I imagined like a dark brown (partridge and mahogany) with lavender and dominant white.
Or an isabel Leghorn with a big star on its breast. XD
@MIAMI LEGHORN @Overo Mare what did you imagine?
@The Moonshiner have you ever tried to isolate the partridge from the mahogany gene in dark Leghorns by crossing with light browns? Do you often use partridge-based Leghorns at all?

 

[The Moonshiner]

About the partridge.
I didn't do dark browns Xs light browns because when I had dark browns I wasn't too interested in partridge.
But some that didn't know genetics for some reason thought dark browns should be used in Isabella lines. I ended up with a couple and then played around with making rose comb isabellas so used RC dk browns doing that.
So I did have some partridge genes in my isabellas. I used isabellas to make solid and cuckoo lavenders and carried at least partridge gene into one of those foundation stock.
Fast forward to today and I still have some partridge genes pop up here and there. I'm trying to eliminate it from all lines and figured in the process turn it into its own line.
