I've really enjoyed mine. I have been working on them for showing. There is no sure way to do it before they mature to the point of quacking vs. rasp-quacking (which usually shows up before drakes get their curlies) unless you know how to safely vent-sex. A marginal way of telling is by the...

There are a fair number of frizzled cochin breeders out there. You could even check Craig's List or go to a local show. If any are being exhibited, it's usually not difficult to get the list of exhibitors contact listing. You can then get an actual frizzle and don't have to take what you get in...

Yep, it works a lot like blue. A blue cockbird can sire blue or black offspring if bred to a black, but no black offspring of that cross will produce blue offspring down the line if bred to another black - even a sibling from the same hatch - because the blue gene has been bred out entirely...

There is a "Coops Coops" that has offered eggs on eBay. That's the only place I've ever seen them offered.

I couldn't agree more. A true scientist understands the value of input from others ("peer review") and doesn't storm off in a snit because a few people have issues with what you've put out there. I have no intention of reading through the whole thing to see if he was unjustifiably criticized...

I know someone who is working on a long-tail with the Fm gene. In fact, I have a pair of his culls that I swapped that are 3/4 Ayam Cemani, 1/4 Onagadori. I'm crossing them to American Game Bantams to try to get ultrablack AGBs. Interestingly, I did an early hatch of these two birds, which are...

As far as weight differences between the two, Large American Gamefowl vary greatly by strain, I'd guess just under 5 pounds on the low end for cocks on up. AGBs are supposed to be 30 ounces, but tend to range a bit larger, so 2 pounds, +/-. AGBs are more standardized in terms of conformation...

Good article on the differences between OEGBs and AGBs: http://www.backyardpoultrymag.com/5-1/old_english_game_and_american_game_bantams_whats_the_difference/

"Some individuals will say mahogany is carried by salmon faverolles but it is not found in the breed variety. The research by Smyth along with Brumbaugh and Hollander (no other restrictors carried) indicated the breast would be spangled. No mahogany in the salmon faverolle. Brumbaugh and...

So, back to this bird. A number of years ago at the Pacific Northwest Poultry Association Show (Spring show, if I recall), I saw a Serama with golden hackles over a ginger breast (don't recall it it was duck or crow winged). I've been trying to replicate that phenotype in the American Game...

Sarimanok, I have learned quite a few things since the time I've posted a lot of what you've been quoting. For starters, the dam I thought to be a Dun sport (a.k.a. khaki) was definitely a splash that carries at least one Db gene, with the Db causing the splash marks to resemble what one might...

Yes, Tim, I believe that is correct. Two sibling cockerels from the same cross had a blue golden duckwing phenotype. Females appeared to be blue SDWs with some orange/red coming through - probably due to being heterozygous for Db.

I had this discussion with Henk and some other folks on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/385005971592955/ Db does cause the breast to be autosomal red. But, apparently the Pumpkin gene is different from the Db gene and the Pumpkin shade is not the same as the autosomal red that the Db...

Well, I'm sending in my order today for the Runner Duck Assortment from Sand Hill Preservation, since I don't think I'll hear back at this point. I should be able to cross to Trout (simplest), Buff or All Fawn ducks to get the light phase gene to make the Saxony (Apricot Trout). Now I just have...
