Miss_Jayne, you are SO my BBCS! LYLAS!
When you gonna post pics of Dolly? I know everyone on here will just fall in love with her!


Thanks Tad for sharing your genetics knowledge with me. Now I know which type of red roo to look for.

What would be the possibilities if I cross her with a blue?

Tad rocks. enough said!


yeah, well, i'm only your BBCS cuz your my ROCS!

I was wondering the same thing about my roo, Rusty. Here's his pic--

He has very red feathers around his neck and lots of gray/blue in his undercoat.

I have a few differant colors of my birds I need help determining... I just can't find that memory card ANYWHERE!!! lol my dad probably stole it. Again.

The first cross would produce black and blue and some splash birds some frizzled and some not frizzled. They may leak some red through the black or blue. You would then cross a black offspring with a blue offspring. One of the birds needs to be frizzled: some of the offspring (from the blue black cross) will be red but will have some black or blue smut. You will have to breed out the smutt.

I am assuming the blue female bird carries gold; if the blue bird carries silver then the male offspring will carry both gold and silver
and you will get some silver males.

The best thing to do is to do the cross then see what the chicks look like, then decide what to do next. Not knowing if the blue bird is silver or gold complicates things.

Wow, those Frizzles are cool! Can they go out and free range? Or are they not waterproof?
I would be willing to take some of the frizzeld culls from your breeding experiments! Even the smutty ones! LOL
