zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 hi dave, I will try and get pictures, so if she is a full blackbreast cream, what would this mean when coming to pair her up. Will she be a carrier of the blackbreast, or a dominate cream? Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave.H 11 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 If she is full blackbreast then her will just work on standard genetics of each seperately Silver = dominant Fawn = sex linked Blackbreast = recessive So I'd recommend if she is full blackbreast Pair her to a fawn blackbreast and you should get Fawn blackbreast cocks Cream blackbreast cocks Fawn blackbreast hens Cream blackbreast hens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 Chris, Having a look at those tails i would rule out BB. Having looked at the evidence i think it could be a female Fawn CFW. It would fit in with the breeding as well. Trevor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 hi trevor, Cheers for that, on looking at the chick it looks to have very pale washed marking very faint markings. Would you completey rule out it been a cream? Do you have any pictures of a fawn cfw. Cheers chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 hi all, I am looking forward for her to moult out now, this has been a very interesting post. I dont have any other creams to compare her to. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulm 119 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 Hi Chris I use to breed silvers and silver lightbacks and let me tell you silver come in all shades and depths of colour,on top of this some would be well marked while other were extremely poorly marked birds,not that this would stop them producing well marked young and it is just the same with Cream as it is for silver as they are just the same dilute mutation on a different base colour.

norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 Paul, I did at an early stage thinking cream but the only thing i'm not sure about are the non tear marks of this youngster. The reason i've swayed towards fawn or cream cfw is the white reflective area around the cheek patch position. Which is common of this type. What do you think to my idea paul.
