probably a white

easter egger and hatchery dark cornish I'd say

Here's the best two pictures I could find. Both show spaldings that came from the same breeder. The pied hen came from the same farmer as well. He lived near Wahoo, NE.

I'll be going back home this coming weekend, so hopefully I'll have time to find my old photo albums

I know this thread is long done and over with. But for what it is worth, Brad Legg got the original "Jades" from my family. They were spalding from the get-go. If I find the old photos I have of the original trio I'll scan them and post them. The old man we bought them from was selling them as...

w.c. black to w.c. blue is totally fine. you'll get chick of both colors from the mating. breed 2 blues together and you'll also get w.c. splashes in the mix.

Looks promising, will be interesting to see where you take them. They are bantam I'm assuming?

Look up the Alabama Gamefowl Breeders Association on facebook. That's your best bet to start.

@ Lophura would you mind telling me where theses charts are found? I'd be truly interested in seeing them. I do agree most people want information fed to them. Not only that but as technology increases they will want it fed to them more frequently and faster. I haven't had pheasants for years...

As much as the majority of recent comments are in favor of keeping pure pheasants I am a little shocked. I can see where you folks fear the glorifying of hybrids as some new fad that might cross a species out of existence. However I also see many comments about how much of a travesty it would be...

Weighed all my bantams yesterday. Lightest male was 33 oz. the rest were around 40 oz. The lightest hen was 24 oz. but most were 27 oz. Looks like I've got to get the size down. If I had the camera with me I would've taken pics. The smallest hen I've got is a spangle (go figure).

Colors that are split usually don't have common names (unless the result is almost always the same). He is split for Brown Red and B.B. Red. Brown Reds can have red in the breast in American Games (it is more of a lacing in bantams and the less the better). notice how red the breast is on...

you'll just have to buy one. It will be a lot simpler than starting from scratch. They originally made them in bantams using w.c. blacks and barred rock bantams. once they got them set they crossed to largefowl w.c. blacks.

I wouldn't recommend breeding the blue roo over your khaki and chocolate hens. The blue and chocolate genes can co-exist in a bird making it neither color. I had a hen like this once. She looked khaki....til you put her beside a khaki, then she looked blue. It'll cause you headaches in the long...

That one is his mom.

If you are starting off with gold lace you best stick with breeding them to gold lace. buff lace to gold laced yields birds that look buff laced but with black ink spotting in the feathers which means those offspring will produce gold lace even though they look buff laced. crossing to...

likely a very pale buff laced, likely has hatchery stock in it as many of the hatchery Polish hens I've dealt with in the past have had blue tinted earlobes

Ok so do you guys suspect this is a recessive trait, a mutation or a combination of traits? I talked to another guy who got the clayback's uncle and some hens of the same line. He too, has had some of them pop up in his Clarets. BUT what I find interesting is he also had one or two come out this...

Yep they are Slip's. I asked him if he minded me posting he said go for it. So Henk you are saying they are taking after the hen's coloration but are not fully displaying it and are maintaining the male's plumage structure? I plan to ask him to take pics of any chicks from these birds this year...

looks like you are getting them more and more uniform, now that's what you want to see in a project!
