Breeding Buff Chickens

[Glenda L Heywood]

I was ask this about this lady's buff Cochins> Do Buff Orpington's have tthe same color faults?
She has

(1) A cockerel of a deep reddish buff color with redish tail & wings,
Is he bred to dark or light females?

(2) A cock of medium shade being a reddish buff cockerel but showing black in the wings and tail.
if mated to like females will it produce males or females?

(3) males dark in every respect even having nearly black tails, what color females should be used?

Do they have white faults in some breedings? Also do they have too much black in them?
What cures the breeding of these faults? Should females always be lighter than males?

I would like the opinion of some who breed them? I know in my day Larry and Mark Peterson of Amboy Minnesota bred excellent buff colored females, they may still do.

My experience was using buff on red frizzles so can't help much here.
Thanks in advance

As no one has answered I had to get out one of my old books on breeding Buff Cochins. I will give the answers

Is he bred to dark or light females? These coming from pullets the year before which were dark buff color.


(2) A cock of medium shade being a reddish buff cockerel but showing black in the wings and tail.
if mated to like females will it produce males or females?
Mated to pullets of good exhibition color, will produce fine females, while pullets very dark in shade
mated to this same bird will produce fine males.

(3) males dark in every respect even having nearly black tails, what color females should be used?
should be mated to hens of pale buff,
though an even shade of buff. Where pullets are used in same pen with hens, the pullets should be fully
five to seven shades darker to have the male prove equally good in mating with both.




If one kills all males that are tinted reddish buff, you will find males void of this will molt over winter
and be tinted with white in flights and tail and undercolor. Using these tinged reddish buff males with
faded colored hens. On would thus put female offspring from this breeding back on the original male the 2nd year of breeding. This keeps the color good in the Buff Breeding pens.

You should check out what color the standard gives and defects and disqualifications on Buff Color. Also
check that breed and variety at the shows.
For more information on this one can buy the APA Standard or ABA Standard.

Thanks in advance

Uh Steve, When you have turned your hobby into a profitable business be sure to tell us how you did it, Meanwhile you should be told that Glenda L Heywood is very experienced in the poultry fancy, was a fixrure at Poultry Shows when she was able to attend and published a poultry newspaper with the articles written by her and her friends. I don't know or care if she ever made a dime profit but her contribution to the poultry fancy was priceless! I suspect this was before your time so you had no way of knowing.....~gd

Glenda,
Been many years since I messed with buffs, but in the orps, I culled anything with black feathers. No matter how rich the color, if there was much smut or actual black feathers, they were gone.
I'm not so picky with the blues.....One or two black feathers can go away with the first moult. If not, they go away....to the swap meet.

Hey, Steve .....can you show me how to make money on my birds? :) Okay, I'll settle for "break even".

Did anyone else notice that Glenda posted that 2 YEARS ago ? Is she still with us? I haven't seen or heard a thing about her since then.

[Angela]

DUH!!
You know, I didn't even notice.... Here I was, expecting her to enlighten me. She's always been a great source of information....if you pay attention.
