Gonna close/cancel this project, just so I can focus on a main three, Project Giant Silkies, PBA in USA, & Black to White Experiment. Don't worry, this probably won't be a permanent cancellation, if it ends up being so, it means I've settled on what I want.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
The only hard part is the breeding for pastel green eggs. Takes time to see what the pullets lay.
And egg color genetics is still new to me, its something I've never bred for.
I haven't been here much, so I don't remember if I've already done this, apologies if it's a repeat.
I'm thinking I'm gonna shorten my list to just:
Malay
Pea
Sumatra
CrackerFowl
Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock
Easter Egger(I have a few to choose from, Green Queen, Fibro EE, Olive Egger...
Will mostly start the project next year, shouldn't be that busy then.
Still got Malays to hatch for a friend, & also seems like I've got a request from one of my dad's friends for some chicks to raise for meat.
Wish this year didn't end up being crazy, but it happened.
I may come back every once in awhile with pictures of breeds I'll be using though, to keep the thread moving until I begin.
Yep, I think I'm going to pause this project till next year. I was wanting to begin this year, but I'm extra busy, & I also have alot of peeps to sort through when they get older. See who stays, & who goes.
My friends' chicks, are going obviously, I'm just raising them to be fully feathered, &...
I know where you can get some Modern Game hatching eggs, & Old English Standard Games.
Malays, & Asils like you mentioned, have low to mid tail sets. So, that shouldn't be too hard to keep the trait.
Yeah, very busy this year. Just moved some Silkies out into the small coop for acclimation before being introduced to the Bantam Coop. Not all birds in the coop are Bantams, the name just stuck.
If you're looking for Velociraptor like body, Oriental Game types would be best to go with.
Any...
Got mine from a breeder in Ohio as hatching eggs. He sells chicks at a few weeks old too. He sells on Ebay every once in awhile.
I may have to pause the project this year, from the looks of it, but we'll see if I can squeeze in at least one crossing though. Been extra busy this year, got a...
Well, the Malay eggs that were in the incubator hatched, & turned out to be pure Malays, so it's a good thing, but this just sets the project back abit.
Thinking I may pause(But Not Entirely, Possible Project Crosses in the Incubator)the project until next year since I'm going to have alot of chicks this year.
