Fawn duckwing old English x Golden duckwing old English?

[Pat Mcaffee]

I’m wondering about the cross that I listed in the title and a silver duckwing x Golden duckwing. If you know what this makes, please let me know! Also, if anyone knows how to make a blue old English, let me know too!

In your crosses, list male color and female color. Sometimes the results can be different, especially when using silver. Are you breeding a silver male to fawn or gold females or the other way around ? As far as "making" blue...the only way I know of to make blue without starting with a blue parent is to cross a splash and a black. 100% of the chicks will be blue.

Correct me please, if I am wrong- Your silver and gold will work well together. It does matter which is male or female as it is a sex linked gene. Silver over gold will give you silver pullets and split cockerels. Gold over silver will give you gold pullets and split cockerels. Your splits will be basically silver carrying a gold gene. Blue wont change the silver and gold, just the black. You would end up with blue gold or blue silver. I've never worked with fawn, but i believe it does work the same as blue.

My experience when crossing silver with gold (I've crossed lemon blue and silver blues) has been that the white on the males often won't be pure white. It will have a yellowish tint.

In the duckwing Phoenix, a male that is given one silver gene from one parent and one gold from the other parent is a Golden, one copy silver and one gold. They start off with silver hackles, but they do turn creamy to straw colored as they mature. Two copies of gold would be a gold male (black breasted red), two copies silver would be silver. The hens are one or the other, silver or gold since they only have one copy, it is a sex linked gene.
Gold rooster over silver hen produces gold pullets(2 copies of gold) and golden (1 silver, 1 gold) cockerels. Silver over gold produces silver (2 silver) pullets and golden (1 silver, 1 gold) cockerels.

So then a golden male over a silver female could produce a percentage of males that are silver. Also, you could get golden males, silver females and gold females. That's right, isn't it ? It's been awhile since I've dealt with this.
