My highest priority project is to add the gene for lavender into my line of Gold Welbars. I am now on the F4 generation for this project and making good progress. Egg color has been lighter than I want, but this generation has started to come close to the color of the Welbar and Lavender Marans. This pic shows the darkest egg gathered in the last 3 days from 4 different breeds, left to right:
- Isabel Crele Welsummer pullet (Gold Welbar + the lavender gene)
- Lavender Marans
- Crele Welsummer (Welbar)
- Copper Marans
