violet and cobalt

Hello

i have a cobalt cock and a sky blue hen i will pair of in march as they are a bit young for now

 

i also have a violet cock born last new years eve

the question is do i want to pair it to my 08 yellow face hen and end up with type 2 yellowface violets like the mother or should i try and get another sky blue hen from the same bloodline and breed more violets

 

apart from having a yellowface the hen is not particularly good

 

then i could pair the chicks of those pairings towards each other and cross in the yellowface once the birds are old enough or even get a outcross yellowface with better features

I tend to have my violets normal or yellowface type 1. Yellowface 1 adds a nice contrast to th violet, but doesnt blend with the colour.

this is what i would breed

sky blue hen

as like dean said they are more appealing and if you decide to show your got a good start :D

but its up to you what you like best type 1 or two
