okay tbh I did not really expect anyone besides me to do more than peek at the thread (if that lol) so!! I am overjoyed at your replies
Périgord finally aged up, so things are OFFICIALLY kicked off with the first nest!
Périgord x Quicksilver have produced the first keeper for Gen 2!!
I've also learned that I am clueless when it comes to efficiently breeding for genes and colors, so I expect this will take quite a few generations lol. ; v;

@MisspelledFox aaah thank you!! They came out SO CUTE and close to the colors I’m after. Much closer than the first chick from that pair lol.
You recently bought #5199 from me, and I hope they help!! I also just hatched this chick: would they help in your quest at all? If so, you are welcome to them for free!
Good luck on your breeding project!!! Périgord is going to help me on one I'm starting soon >:D
@boar — omg yes, I would love them! thank youuu, that's so sweet ; v;
@Purr — YAY, I'm so glad they're moving through the world and get to be part of another project!! I'm always curious about what happens to chickens after they move to new coops.
Hesitantly welcoming Polymorph as the next member of Gen 2!
I'll give Pistache Noisette x Chicken Creepypasta a few more nests to see if they can get a little closer with the flair color and eliminate the wattle gene.
Secondary color is way off, but if she'd help and you'd ever like to have an internest with my little olive here, just let me know!
It is with a heavy heart that I must remove Polymorph from the Gen 2 pool & her mother Pistache Noisette from the Gen 1 pool.
I completely spaced and forgot that I modulated Miss Noisette to give her cute little blush cheeks, and we are not using modulators here folks!!
I do try to keep an eye on the family history of the chickens I’m using for the project, and I’m sure I will accidentally overlook something at some point, but y’all… this is literally a chicken I modulated myself lmao. orz
Welcome to Generation 2!
The original gene pool have hatched a good handful of chicks, so I am rotating out all Gen 1 parents who successfully produced a chick and beginning the next generation of nests.
Chickens who produced no successful nests will stick around and have been rolled into the Gen 2 gene pool.
Additionally, all retired parents that were in my roost are now up for sale in the Farmhouse for anyone interested in them!
