I currently have some full black cocks in with pied hens. Will see what results.

Hi Finchy.

Came across this post and thought I would ask......Did you give it a try? Any luck in producing WA Fancy or something similar?

Cheers

Jake.

I currently have 3 cocks that look a lot like WA fancys (but black is only on chest not full front) in a small avairy with 3 hens that are dilute charcol pieds. Hoping for some interesting results.

Hi Jake. I did produce a Marked White Charcoal, which is a pretty interesting looking bird. Not yet a MW BB blend, but no reason why not. I have not been trying very hard, but the genes are in my flock to produce it. I'm just waiting

I've seen MW and CFW Charcoals. The ones I've seen are fairly unimpressive, and look similar to this (minus the crest):

No luck so far with the ones I deliberately put together. But in my general grey mix avairy, have a couple of young heavy pieds with the black teardrops on their faces. So they look a bit like the one above but with no crest, much darker, teardrops and a little more grey.
