Hi the Moonshiner!
Thanks for putting up the photos and starting this great thread! Just Awesome! Beautiful and exciting birds.
I'm following/watching this thread.
I don't why I invited you to share pics instead of pointing everyone to your thread.

Chickat is pretty modest so I'll have to call her out.
We also go back quite a bit here.
There were a few that got interested in putting the Isabel pattern from the leghorn onto the CCL to produce a barred Isabel pattern that would be auto sexing.
While the others were interested in keeping with the legbars I was going a different route and keeping mine 100% leghorn. That put me a little behind since I didn't have a crele type to add lavender I had to bring the barring from a black bird then get the duckwing pure, the barring pure and the lavender pure. She thought it would be interesting with the different routes to the same conclusion.
I'm still trying to get there and she has a finished product. Beautiful birds so go check them out.
The most interesting thing about her is that although I didn't see it as that hard of a project I believe she was a complete novice to a project like that.
The fascinating thing was she started a thread and took everyone on a step by step and then some ride with her.
It is uncommon for someone working on a project to create something new like that and share every detail from start to finish.
She did a wonderful thing and a wonderful job.
Its a great look into a breeding project so go check it out.
