The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[rbaker0345]

Black and Blue are accepted varieties. Splash is not (yet). It is part of the B/B/S color family and can be show, but cannot place higher than best of variety. There has been some talk within the club about organizing breeders and paperwork for a meet to gain recognition. If that is the case, get those splash out and show them. Lavs aren't accepted yet either. I have shown them the past 3 years not expecting much other than getting them in front of breeders/judges.

Definitely plan on getting them out there. After talking to Peeps, I think I'm going to keep my lavs too. She says that you can breed them to blacks (I have John Blehm pure blacks) and get 25% blacks, so if they accidentally intermingle, I'll get some showable birds and some EE's. I want to try to win some of those chocolates too, once I'm more flush.

Quote: ok not sure what you mean by breeding to blacks and getting 25%...
for bbs you get the following:

Black to Black = 100% Black
Blue to Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Blue to Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Splash, 25% Black
Splash to Black = 100% Blue
Splash to Blue = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash to Splash = 100% Splash

if you breed lavender (lav/lav) to black (Lav+/Lav+), you'll get all blacks split for lavender (Lav+/lav). it's recessive, not dominant like the blue gene. breeding a split lavender (Lav+/lav) bird to a (visibly) lavender (lav/lav) you'll get 50/50 (lav/lav & Lav+/lav), lavender to lavender 100% lav/lav.

breeding lavender to blue, you'll get 50/50 black and blue, all split for lavender.

Maybe they meant breed black split to lavender x black split to lavender will produce 25% visibly lavender offspring (with 50% split again to lav but look black, and 25% just black).

The problem is if you then inadvertently use black split lavender birds in your BBS breeding program

Ok now someone do this with chocolate.

 

[minihorse927]

Chocolate Male X Chocolate Female = 100% Chocolate
Black Male X Chocolate Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Black Females
Chocolate Male X Black Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Chocolate Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Chocolate Female = 25% Chocolate Males, 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Black Female = 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Black Males, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females.

This is of course for the sex linked recessive chocolate

which is exactly what we both said as well...

the lavender and blue genes are both eumelanin restrictors, but carried and expressed differently.
