Hello all
I am set up to breed Cochins. I have two roosters, a mottled and a lemon splash. My mottled carries black, some blue somewhere and mottled. My lemon splash carries all sorts of weird colors. He assumably carries buff and blue, but when I bred him to a lemon blue bird from his same breeding program I ended up with lavenders.
I am aware I don’t want to breed blacks to my mottled rooster because it will make splits. I bred the mottled to a blue hen and ended up with blacks, a blue and a blue mottled. I want to breed all of them to the lemon splash.
Here’s my question, good idea or bad idea? My goal is to get showable colors. My hope would be to get blues and splashes.
I would take blacks, I’m thinking black would be the dominant color and I would have mostly blacks? Any thoughts?
