All my crazy projet ideas!

[Yard Farmer]

Howdy y'all, I've been told to make a thread following my breeding projects from a couple of my friends. So, here I am!

Perfect list:
SOP, Bb red OEGB.
Lemon blue and black OEGB X Bb red roo. (OEGB)
1st, 2nd and 3rd gen Olive eggers. Using 2 different roos.
(An interesting project that I don't know the out come of) Possible "white" AC.

I'm far from an expert breeder, but I know "some" things. But as always, I would love to learn more!
I've often wondered what "R X r" (or how ever their used) mean when breeding poultry. Could anyone inform me on it? Thanks!

I hope y'all enjoy this thread. I will do my very best to keep it going, and posting updates.
I will also add some of my barnyard cross birds just to share.

A few friends that may be interested...
@Tookie, @Weeg, @The-White-Elephant, @Pampered chicken girl, @AmeraucanaHank, @Chicks In VA,
@Sc_chickengirl, and @Bakbuk.

Lost this pair in a cold snap this winter...sadly
It's unfortunate I won't be having them in my breeding program this year.

Okay, lets do a little recap on the new birds.
I have these two boys, I already mentioned them:

And again, these two pullets.
They're paired up with my bb red's now. I got 2 chicks off of them so far.

I hatched out this bb red cockerel.

My bb red X lemon blue cross pullet.

A bad pic of the brown red hen.

New bb red trio.

I have some rather unfortunate news.

We lost one of the bb red cocks last night/early this morning.
I think he passed of old age.

Here he is, R.I.P buddy. You were a good boy.

I snagged this picture before a bad storm we got here.

My new, best looking bb red rooster.
He's about a year and a half now, I believe?
