Lightback Cock To Silver Hen

Recommended Posts

I am thinking of pairing a Lightback Cock to a Double Factor Silver Hen.

Should this pairing produce all Single factor silvers, but with lightback full barred tails?

That is my objective.

Graham,

               The pairing you mention you will get:-

 

50% Silver s/f split Lightback males

 

50% Silver s/f Lightback  females

 

hope this helps,

 

Trevor :)

I purchased it , sold as double factor.

We will have to see what is produced before we can be sure.

Good luck , bred silver's for the first time last year.

Hope you get the results you are after.

Mine appeared by chance knew I had the genes in there, but didn't expect to do as well as I did.

Looking forward to see what the offspring bring. Have silver male to normal female at the moment.

Well ,only produced one chick from the pairing all year.

A very nice Silver light back cock, beautiful coloured bird and very bonny.

Hi Graham,

 

Any chance of a pic? Is it a hen or cock?

 

My Silvers have been very slow this year, but are starting to come good now at the end of the season!
