Sparks & Daphne Every once and awhile, there are two birds that I just HAVE to put together. For whatever reason, it always seems like the process takes longer when it's a pair I'm REALLY excited about and Sparks & Daphne are no different.
This is my first linebreeding on Balls, one of my resident favorites. Balls has the most incredible Hawky brow and head that I've seen in a long time and his first son, Sparks is no different. He's BIG and impressive and, like his father, is also extremely interested in the hens! He was slow to fill out, but showed the beautiful hawk at a very early age.
Daphne is from another pairing that I did with Balls last year. I really hoped for his classic head package in this pair's chicks - but, alas - it did not pass on visually. His mate (Daphne's mother) is gorgeous, however. She has an amazing depth of color to her and this did pass on to both her daughter and her son, a normal cock that you'll see later.
So, a half and half pairing has been in the cards for these two since Daphne was born. It is my hope that since Balls has fathered both of these beautiful birds, a line can begin here. I'm anticipating the head package to return with this pair's chicks. Since Daphne was born of Balls, she should theoretically be able to pass the genes back into her chicks - especially when combined with a visual cock, like Balls' son Sparks.
