The Moonshiner's Leghorns

I like him. I think I like the male's better than the females for this one

The girls don't change much but the boys will look so much better as roosters then they do as cockerels.

How did you make these?

I wanna make some

Cross a blue with your silver duckwing. Then cross any blue offspring back to silver duckwings. Half those offspring will be blue. Half will be duckwing. Find the ones that are both and there you go.
That's one route.

And the same way with gold duckwing?

So Moony, any new plans for next spring? Or just increasing the numbers for what you have?

Idk for sure. I try not to make many plans in the fall/ early winter. Best to wait till early spring cause I don't trust old man winter not to interfere with my plans.

@The Moonshiner

If I have these idiots:

And they are Chocolate and Lavender Cuckoo, If I breed them to a regular Black (or Blue) would I get Normal (Black Cuckoo)?

What's the questions here? What you'd get crossing...
Chocolate cuckoo Xs black (or blue)
Lavender cuckoo Xs black (or blue)

It's a little more tricky with the golds because your blues should be silver based. I guess your blues may be gold based idk over there.
One way or the other is gonna give you some silver/gold boys so you'll have to go another generation to get them pure.
I went that way on purpose because silver/gold boys can throw either gene so I could use them for both projects simultaneously.
When you get serious we'll break down what birds you have to use and work out the options.

Silver girls and gold males give the sexlinking

Could the same be done for any breed? Now I kinda want to work on blue gold pheonixes....
