Half of the first back crosses have vaulted skulls, as expected, since the vaulted skull gene is recessive. Here is my first back cross that was worth keeping. https://www.facebook.com/SullysBlueKings/posts/1603415406364916

Hi, I just stumbled on this thread. Did you ever follow through with your project? I'm very curious as I started one with Polish and Ameraucanas last year. Here is the link to my facebook page if you are interested. https://www.facebook.com/SullysBlueKings/

I hope this is okay to post here, but I am super excited to share some news about my Blue Egg Polish project. Now the hard part.... waiting to see if it got the blue egg gene from it's F1 daddy...

The buck I have now is only producing black kids and light red buckskin kids. I want to add diversity to my herd. Do you think that adding this buckling would help add diversity when he is old enough to breed? Or would he produce more of the same with the does that I have? Thanks. My does are...
