Yes, a very good chance.

DeWayne Edgin:
I would buy her if she is for sale! I would raise her chicks seperate as a project. :D Think about it and let me know Beth please. By the way how is her egg color? My blacks laid the bluest eggs of all, is she laying yet?

Beth C:
Mike: Yep, sold him before she hatched I think. Good news is he went to a breeder and not auction. I can see if he still has him and if so maybe we can figure something out. Otherwise, guess I'm in the market for a brown red male. ;)

Dewayne: Good question. I pulled her out of the pen tonight so I'll dig out the scale. She hasn't started laying yet, so not sure on egg color. She's a split and my lavenders run the full range, so anxious to see. For now I think I'm going to hang onto her and see if I can find a male but if not I'll let you know. If she can be used to make more brown reds it would be a shame not to breed her.

jerryse:
You could use her with a black and then back to her son to get more brown reds .

Beth C:
Thanks, Jerry - that's what I was hoping! I can set her up with a black a lot quicker than any other option and hopefully get some chicks on the ground until I can find a brown red male. If I breed to black, will the offspring be solid black or tinged with gold? Would I then select for the male (assuming they were equal in other areas) with more gold? I'm going to play with the calculator but I'm betting you can answer quicker than I'll find it. ;)
