thanks, he's only 16 weeks old now. I looked online at several "cree" fly tying capes. Those are specific about the patterns and this wouldn't be considered cree, I don't think. I'm taking a guess that he would be considered a barred medium ginger.He is looking really nice as he gets older and more mature
Chick should have a base color of black or blue (half each way.)@NatJ what do you think the chicks would look like if I crossed this rooster with black copper marans hens? The pullets would be barred? Black? The rooster seems to have a dark blue/gray breast.
Also what is the inheritance on ear lobe color? He’s got a pearly white/green sheen to his and they are reds.
I see whiting has a similar breed he’s calling Whiting Creole. It’s not a dark green though.If you have to buy some new chickens to start your project, you might also look at the olive eggers being sold by various hatcheries. Some of them are first-generation crosses that might save you one generation on your project. For example, if a hatchery crossed a Cream Legbar and a Welsummer, cockerels would be wild-type with one copy of the barring gene, one blue egg gene, and one set of genes for dark brown eggs.

Edit: I misread the post, I thought it said legbar x welsummer
