Blue red Oxford OEG ?  Blue red Leghorns?,  Blue red Ardenners?. . . . . . . .

Some years ago I set out on a project to create a strain of Blue Silver Duckwing Welsummers. I used a Blue Jersey Giant to introduce the blue gene and had no problem selecting for both yellow legs and brown eggshell in the second and subsequent generations.
          For me the struggle has been to get rid of red shoulder patches in the males and seven years on this is still ongoing. This was presumably caused by the accidental introducxtion of autosomal red from the JG ancestor.
              You are in the position that this is OK because you are develping Blue Gold Duckwing Welsummers. Once you have introduced the blue gene then you just cross and backcross to Welsummers to recover type. I would avoid using Leghorns because it can be hard to get back to pure red lobes. A Blue Wyandotte gives purity for red lobes and yellow legs and by selecting for single combed offspring then you eradicate the rose comb for ever.

Yeh. Gold Duckwing is one of those colour names that means different things to different people. Some folk use the term to mean gold rather than silver. Others distinguish Red Duckwing, Silver Duckwing and Gold Duckwing. Yet more mean it to mean Yellow Duckwing.
               I assume that from the above comments re Leghorns that badger means to use the word as in not silver duckwing as opposed to a diluted form of red duckwing.
                    But may be wrong!

I think the hardest part will be getting hold of the blue red wyandottes but after that you should be grand I wish you the best sucess

Where are you Badger? I have a self blue dotte cockerel chick (I think, hes not very old yet!!) My blues are a bit light and leggy too, whcih would suit your plans.

Um...Essex!! 
Hes only about 3 weeks old, I have three slightly older ones but am sure they are all girls.
I will run him on (I love him, hes so tame) and I'm sure the pp taxi service can get him to you when necessary.

i would love him, but im only 18, and only been driving just over a year, so essex might be a bit far.. hmmm i relli want him though 

what do you think to adding a splash to a gold cockeral.
im thinking splash maran... should keep the gold, turn the black chest blue, keep egg colour, ear lobe, would only need to work on leg colour, and feathers on legs if i get a french one.
