Porcelain OEGB Project

I initially read that as "two genes" needed for a chicken to have feathered feet.
But then I realized you might mean "two generations" to get rid of feathered feet.

Yeah I meant two generations

1-2 copies. 1 copy gives less feathered feet.

I meant generations

Hey, so next year I plan to try to make porcelain OEGB. I'm gonna definitely use Mille Fleur OEGB from Cackle hatchery but I'm not sure where I should incorporate the lavender gene from. Do you guys think I should use lavender OEGB or Porcelain D'uccles? Using the D'uccles takes care of color for the most part, but you have the muffs and feathered shanks to deal with. With using the Lav OEGB, all other physical traits are take care of, but then the color is some weird black with gold leakage type thing probably. Interested to year ya'll's thoughts!

Sounds like a very interesting breeding project, indeed!

Are you trying to just make porcelain OEGB to sell, or for personal satisfaction?

Because if you're wanting to do something similar to me: creating your own line of birds and sell them to the public, I would strongly advise against using the D'uccles. Just because the hard core breeders what nothing but PURE - pure OEGB only.
So, if you're looking to create actual porcelain OEGB, I would use only OEGB to make that color.

But, if you're just wanting to just do this for your own pleasure, I would say/thing the D'uccles would be a good way to go.

I'd probably recommend crossing mille fleur and lavender OEGB, but whatever you want to do.

I did the same. I thought the S, was an e.
