WARNING: The calculator can be addictive! :D

And no, I can't figure out Pebbles. Maybe R2Elk can. I tried. But cant figure out the nari/bronze genotype. Or how to add in the red slate gene. Plugged in a few guesses and no Pebbles.

Ralph...not only can JJ produce just about anything, he has a great temperament. He's a keeper for sure!

There are Barred birds on Porters main type page. They can be pretty amazing!

Your right. I thought I saw pictures of a Barred Slate. But couldn't find it either. But a Barred feather has those horizontal stripes. My assumption is that Barred feathering would be expressed either on the wing or tail. But in actuality I'm clueless. I would also breed Penguin to something. Being a Rusty Black he could produce some interesting things. Not sure I'd let Ethel sit out a season. Maybe you get a Bourbon Red or Bronze to breed her too and introduce yet another color line....then back to JJ.

MM...Not much makes me cry, but I'm a Payton fan...that made me cry....feeling your pain.

Banshee. ...my original thought was he is "passing" as a hen. Seriously, my fist thought was hen. After reading your post my thought is still hen. But I'm no expert. How old is Banshee? That could give us another clue. I've also heard that hens are more snuggly than toms. The mystery will be solved....hopefully.

Again...sorry about Cricket.

Ralphie. ...my live trap came with the same instructions. Followed them to a "T". Still can't get the dang thing to work right. :lol:


Aurora. ..just wondering if Adam is still stuck on display mode. :lol:

Ralphie ...you never explained what caused that guineas hen to be confined to the gulag for life!

It is ironic that JJ & Ethel ended up being such cool birds. Guess you never know. I rescued Daisy in rush hour traffic and couldn't have a sweeter girl.

Did you notice. ...there are a couple offers to take (rescue) Penguin. Just saying. Seems several of us are worried about the fate of the little guy. But I agree with Feisty, he's just going through that teenage stage.

And I'm still picturing Turkules sitting on hens. :lol:
