Sean D 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2013 Guys, what route do I take to produce the above, I have normal fawn cocks and hens, I also have grey penguins, whats the best best pairing, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave.H 11 Report post Posted November 1, 2013 Pair fawn cocks to penguin hens Then pair young males to full penguins Or pair the normal split male chicks to the fawn hen chicks the following season Gives you 25% chance of producing full fawn penguins in either sexe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean D 1 Report post Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks for that Dave, when you say "young males" will that be any young male that is produced from the original pairing, What would the results be from pairing a penguin cock to a fawn hen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave.H 11 Report post Posted November 4, 2013 No The cocks from the pairing will only be carriers I'd pair a cock to a penguin hen Gives you chance to produce fawn penguin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abarkecavalier 2 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 I will be trying to produce fawn penguin cock birds over the next few years I have about 15 fawn penguin hens all ready to start, I am aiming to purchase some normal exhibition size fawn cocks to pair with these fawn penguin hens, the following year I will pair the offspring males back to pure Fawn penguin hens I should then with luck breed some fawn penguin cock birds. Will keep you updated on the results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
