Breeding / Wheaten X Black bantam Cross
« on: December 15, 2021, 02:03:46 PM »
So I crossed my wheaten bantam cock over a black bantam hen. All the pure wheaten chicks hatched from him look like standard wheatens with the correct down. The black hen I haven't used before, she was from another breeder I purchased last fall.

The chicks from the cross all hatched out as blacks with various levels of leakage, except for 1 guy. I originally thought he was a silver egg that somehow got put under the broody hen, because his down looked pretty much like a silver down. As he grew out I thought he had horrible autosomal red coming through, which was supprising because only one other silver hatched last year showed any signs of red, and that guy only had a slight hint of red in his shoulders when full grown. But this guy was 50% white, 25% red, and 25% black as he grew up. I gave him as well as 8 others from the cross to a friend, and I only kept a hen from the cross. You'd think she was pure black besides a few very very minor ticks of red in her chest.

Fast forward 3 or 4 months and my friend's birds are all grown. The one odd looking guy grew out of all the white he had previously in his chest. He is definitely not a silver offspring, and no possiblity of being a silver cross either. My silvers were never put in any other pens, so he had to come from the wheaten x black cross. Which now I can assume the black isnt E/E. The breeder she came from only raises brown reds and blacks. Anyone have an idea what e locus she might be carrying? Shes a good looking girl so I plan to use her with my blacks and cull appropriately. Anyways here is a photo of the guy, his siblings, and the pullet I kept with the wheaten cock. I do have a problem losing my wingbow in my wheatens after the first molt so disreguard his lack of wheaten in the wing.

Ameraucana Marketplace / ISO self blue bantam boy cull (Dixie Classic)

I need a self blue bantam cull, to test breed a couple pullets whose mom was split. I dont need anything of quality whatsoever just a cheap cull. I'll be at the Dixie Classic in Dec. shoot it could be any breed as long as its a lavender bantam.. Im not NPIP but I'd also be willing to bring a spare bantam silver pullet or bantam blue hen to trade for the boy. Thanks, Spencer

Thanks 🤟 shes coming along, Ima focus mainly on hatching her eggs this spring. The cockerel is filling out nicely, but has a sloppy comb, luckily hers is nice and tight like her grandmothers.

The partridge pullet filled out plumply but her tail leans to the left so she's out of the program. On a positive note, the youngest growout who was a crele hen has filled out well and hopefully she has a descent egg color 🤞

**edit the image resizer site does something funky to the color on some of the pics I upload.
