Tolbunt Polish

LOVE your main cockerel, Gretchen.

The babies seem to be coming along quite nicely, too. And it's good to hear of such improvement.

Yes! Quite likely.

I took the photos before I brought you up your babies. How's the gold-laced hen doing?

WOOOW NICE TOLBUNTS !!!

What happens if you cross a bearded white hen with a tolbunt ???

Do you think it would help out with adding new genes, or is it better to stay with golden laced & orlorff crosses ???

Stay away from Orloffs.

Bearded Whites, I would think, would give offspring who are either solid white or solid black. (depends on dom versus rec) The F3's will be quite diverse, but somewhere in there I think you'll get back to a Tolbunt-esque color.

If you have SQ Bearded Whites, . . . . I want some!

I have 2 Polish roosters for sale and one hen is someone is intersted. I don't know if they would help you in your projects or not. they are more of a Calico color.

The cockerel is very neat looking, but, no beard.

What is (genetically) behind him?

No idea
I bought them from some one at a show.
Those pictures are a little old. They have grown sicne then.

Thats what my Goonie baby is in posts #22 and #69 (w/pic) of this thread - dad was a frizzled tolbunt, mom was white (recessive white, I believe). Its pretty much solid black with hints of gold and just a tad bit of white (although its not visible on the pic). I believe its split to mottled (from dad), but there is no lacing whatsoever. Vcomb said a gold laced would be the most suitable mate for this chick, so provided it makes it to maturity, I might be interested in some of your gold laced eggs in the spring if that would be ok?

If you make the tolbunt/white cross, I'd be interested to see what you get!

If you make the same cross, I'd be interested to see what you get!

That's how my theory formed - I checked it out on chicken calculator, and yeah, that's basically what it said - with F3 back to a tolbunt, it will create a numerous group of colors.

Interesting

I thought you would get either white or tolbunt & maybe an inbetween.

Would have never guessed black,

Well that answered my question

Also where did you find the chicken calculator ???


Can you send me a link, when ever you get a chance, if you don't mind.


Thank You,
