Hi
I have aquired a yellow (red) kirkpatrick hen, lovely looking bird. Just wondering the best partner for her really, I have a blue cheq kirkpatrick cock bird, would that pairing produce more of the yellows possibly?

silvers would be more likely but you may get as many yellows |

A yellow hen will not produce yellows unless the cock carries yellow or the cock is a dilute, i.e silver! |

You will get yellows even if the cock was black. |

No such breed as "Show Racer", they are racers bred to improve feather quailty and conformation!
They will also fly and I have raced them to 460 mile! |
