I made crele rosecombs about 6 or 7 years ago. I got a cuckoo rosemale male and crossed him on BBRed females. I also crossed a crele old english male on BBRed females. It takes a while to get the comb right going with a old english. I crossed the two different matings and got crele's. I have never got a crele rosecomb male the looks like the old english. Femals are fine. I have got tried of those and thought the lemon deal might be fun. How would the buffs carry a wheaton gene? I know anything is possible. Don Don, Buffs are wheaten at the e-locus. I will find my article I have that can explain this better when I have a day off and can post it

Nice, I have seen some bantams that look like buff rocks. Yours are nice Jon. What a great find. Now all you have to do is get to hatching ;D

It's 11:30 here in NH ... just checked the temps.. 10 degrees... Not bad at all so far. The worst is yet to come. I just hope those extra roos I kept for body heat don't start a free for all. I really hate keeping the doors closed but who has a choice in weather like this? Oh, that is cold. We are usually around those temps this time of year. It has been unusually warm though.

You might make Crele Don Possible, I was going to breed my LF cuckoo male to my buff females and see what happens. I just have to see if the buffs are carrying wheaten or some other gene. I know of lines that are partirdge carring to. You still should get some that are buff colored with dirty tails and improve from there.
