crossing buff and light columbian??

[D Bar J Acres]

What would happen if I crossed buff and light columbian patterns? Bantam brahmas if it matters. And I don't intend to show. Thanks

bump - anyone?

its a sex-linked cross so it depends on which way you go about it. if you cross buff brahma roo over light brahma hen you'll get pure buff brahma pullets and the roos will probably look like light brahmas with butter cast to them and red shoulders as they will have the genes for both silver and gold. if you cross light roo over buff hens you get pure light hens and the same type of cross roos again.

Cool! Thanks!

no prob. I'll even go a step further here for ya. If you take one of the cross roos carrying 1 gene gold 1 gene silver and breed him to 1 buff hen and 1 light hen you'll get pure light hens, pure buff hens, pure light roos, pure buff roos, and cross roos like described before.
