Paduan Standard vs Bantam

[joaomribeiro]

Good night.

I have currently Paduan Tolbunt standard and Gold or Chamois bantam.

If I want to have a Tolbunt Bantam, can I cross my female Tolbunts with my Gold bantam male for instance? Or that can cause some problem crossing standard with bantam?

Just trying to understand what I should do to have Tolbunt bantam

Thanks

It should not make any problems, the chicks will be a size in between.

Will I have a way to have in the first, second or third generation a pure bantam Tolbunt?

You need to have a lot of generations, picking out the birds that meet your desired look and size.

So in short you’re saying is not a good idea

You will get pure Tolbunts but the size will take several generations to achieve.

No, it is a good idea.

If you hatch enough in the second generation you'll have some nice bantam size birds.

Probably not.
I have been breeding down the size of my Buckeye bantams for all 4 years that I’ve had them and they’re still not ideal.
And the breed was bred from bantam Rhode Island Red and bantam Cornish.

And second and third generation should i always cross offspring e with my bantam gold male? Or cross offspring between themselves?

Well, you won’t get mottling in the first generation (mottling is recessive) so you should try to get some pure Tolbunts first by crossing them together. But you can cross him with them to reduce size if you like.
