What should I pair?

Post by aaqua85 » Sat Sep 05, 2015 10:51 am

Questions on genetics for a couple colors I would like to breed.
#1. I have two male single factor dominate silvers. They are brothers and the only visible silvers I have. How can I pair them to get double factor dominate silvers?

#2 I have a BB/OB male that has really great orange coloring and I would like to work on that line for more orange. I was thinking a fawn hen is a good option?

Please let me know what you think! Thank you

You would need another sfDS hen if you'd like to get dfDS chicks. As for the BB/OB a fawn hen wouldn't do much besides make birds that are normal grey /bb and possibly /ob (with the males being split up fawn as well. I'd try to find an OB/BB hen, and if she's fawn even better.
