So if I understand it, you’re going to keep Lil black in the breeding pool with one of your full blood BCM Roosters, and eventually her offspring (F2 or F3) will be back to the full bcm standard?Mommas View attachment 4186155
Chloe is front row left. (Y/O). If I recall this was one of her first eggs. (All 6 were new layers) and at her peak she lays just about the same color as Momma, if not a tad lighter. I've read that sometimes the dark egg gene coming from Kong will sometimes skip a generation.
Example being all 3 in back row are sisters from Raven. W/blue on left layed the lightest, but I wouldn't have dismissed her just because of egg color. She had black eyes and that's a no breed forward combined with her light egg. I would have definitely kept her to backcross again because Raven is one of my darkest layers.
While I'm at it...that center front egg is Lil Black's. Black (her Dam) is my suspect Midnight Majesty as Lil Black has got lots of leakage as the MMMs don't breed true. But that egg color is staying and by backcrossing Lil Black I'll keep darkening the eggs and get back to pure Black Copper in her progeny.View attachment 4186154
Correct... with just a slight correction of Lil Black is an F2. So F3-F4 possibly. My problem is with Kong being overcolored in the chest, he won't correct her. I need a cock with no chest leakage, I have a few (20 or more) growing out.So if I understand it, you’re going to keep Lil black in the breeding pool with one of your full blood BCM Roosters, and eventually her offspring (F2 or F3) will be back to the full bcm standard?
I’d be really curious to see how it works out because one of my broodies hatched a noir marans x bcm earlier this year.
