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
