Flying by the seat of my pants!
I would love to have some of these to use for the sex link project. They are breed purely for egg color and are not to standard which is fine for what I want to do. The site says their main rooster comes from a proven #8 bloodline (Marans color scale is 1-9) and throws 6-7s.
Using the Golden Cuckoo girls is going to lighten the color of w/e Marans rooster used. Their eggs just are not a dark as the Black Coppers. Judging by Mrs Blue's eggs, I'm assuming Sully did not come from a dark egg. I don't know if those 2 are actual siblings but they did come in on the same order from GFF.
Depending on how serious I want to take the chocolate egg sex links, I'm thinking Sully might not be the best rooster to use. I'm sure he'd produce some beautiful babies with the FGCM, but I don't think he'd produce the egg color I want to go for. This is the mixture I'd get with BB x GC...
I dunno... just thumbing through some ideas...
