cooperbro Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Excellent thanks! Here goes. What colour Pekin Bantam is this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Is it a cross between an buff columbian and a silver partridge. I bought two of those today. Yours looks more partridgy than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperbro Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I know that cock was white and hen was either white or black. I know these pairings in the past have also produced a cuckoo hen. Goodness knows what genes these are carrying, the parents belong to a friend of mine. Out of 6 eggs i got from him, 3 were fertile and all hens. The sisters were just solid white.

Janty Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 That's my theory out then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperbro Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Your new Pekins look lovely, we used to live in Kessingland not far from you. Your theory might be right, they may have grandparents etc with these genes i know white is a dominant colour that can mask others (if its not ressessive white, lol).

cooperbro Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Incedently i know you can get that sort of colouring (your new chooks) from Millefleur cock x Buff hen. And Millefleur cock with Partridge hen. I love genetics!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
