He's actually Golden Birchen.

Really? I really like that color. I know a guy who breeds silver birchen OEGB here, but I've never heard of golden birch.

Golden is, Gold, Silver Split. His dad is Golden also, but has more gold then Silver.

Okay.
So, in your opinion, how would I go about propagating golden birch in OEGB? What color could I cross into the silver birch to get that gold?

I suppose in general, it doesn't even have to be OEGB.

Cross Silver Birchen to Red/Gold Birchen, or vice-versa.
Only the males will be Split for Gold, & Silver. If the Reds carry Autosomal Red the females can display a golden look as well.

Lloyd miner blues. Only thing with them is they never breed true. Kinda cool cause you didn't know how they would color out till they were grown

Blue is one color that doesn't breed true.
Maximus was a Brown chick that grew to Red Breasted Blue Birchen.

Magnus was a chick that was Blue Mottled pattern, started out getting the white spots of a Mottled bird, but then the birchen seemed to have somehow swept away the mottling.

Unfortunately mystery I've proven that table to not be 109% true. I did it a few times. I had the blues for years. I specifically remember 2 splash throwing some black aling with splash. Its been years and I don't remember every breeding except that one. Reason being is a fellow breeder (not of blues he had greys and roundheads) swore up and down on the Table it was funny to prove it wrong.
