Wheaten Crele Orpington Project, Reboot

@nicalandia, what should I breed my Orpingtons too, to test for wildtype, or partridge?

 

[MysteryChicken]

My silver Pencilled hen, I know is obviously partridge based.

Odd. Can't think of anything else to say.

I had even weirder ones from even more normal duckwings this year as well. I call then my flock of Quirks

Yeah. Can you describe some of their colors?

 

[MysteryChicken]

I'm gonna have to go to bed soon. Usually I'm not on BYC this long.

Yeah. As chicks they were a full yellow, a wildrype looking one and a normal one. I ended up with a white with a red spot on her hed, a "Yellow Ginger" and a "Ginger".

Ignore the Japanese hen, she brooder the eggs because the actual mama decided to stop

Pretty birds.

How your birds are throwing out those funky colored chicks is interesting.

One thing I don't understand is how Db, would make salmon breasts. From what I understand the gene is also known as Black Tail, & creates a Columbian like color pattern.

This is the closest I can find for my Brown Chick. There's another chick that I found that looks similar, but includes Birchen, which my birds don't carry.

The chick in the for ground is a mystery apparently. I'm gonna keep digging around.
