The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

Very beautiful birds!
They have great quality Lavender feathers too. Did you make them from scratch?

Someone else came up with the Isabel (lavender gold duckwing) I got onboard with those fairly early and worked with those a few years.
Back then they had really bad feather quality and still laid tinted eggs.
I was working on various patterns another of which was silver duckwing. After a while I decided to cross to those for a new pattern. Ended up liking them more then Isabel so I stayed with them.

Sorry for the OT... but it's kinda sorta maybe leghorn relevant (lol) and I figure you might put up with me.

I can't believe our little Monty, 10 weeks old today, 1/4 leghorn, successfully mated with Cocomo. He's like 1/3rd of her size! And it wasn't just an attempt. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
Mother nicknamed him "Monty the Mounty".
His daddy (EO + AM) took 6 months to breed, I was waiting around until summer to set eggs.
Happened just after these pictures. In the awkward phase and hot with his wings out.

Moony, silver male over gold female will make all gold, right? Or some of both?

Silver and gold is sex linked so like BSL.
The pullets follow the dad. BSL... non barred dad = non barred daughters. Silver/Gold = daughters are what dad is. Then of course sons are combination of mom and dad.
