Looks like there's a bit of Cubalaya and Yokohama mixed in there.

What else will you do? 😇

I agree with this assessment. But I wasn't asked either.

I raised Ganoi for several years and the stags highly respected the brood cock until the stags reached their second year. Some of them even waited until spring of their third year before challenging the brood cock, but when they did it was a fight to the end of one or the other. The brood cock...

This dark pullet in the front came out of a Cubalaya to Cubalaya breeding. I don't remember that I've ever gotten one that's quite as similar to an oriental as this one. I like her high station a lot though so we'll see how she matures.

I get it.

If she ever hatches out chicks again you could put her in a pen until the chicks are big enough to keep up. If the existing chicks with her survive, you'll know that they were of the stronger longer legged ones and might be the better ones of the bunch for the project that you've got going.

The biggest problem I noticed was with a hen brooding other breeds and not her own. Or a hen when bred to breed slower feathered than herself.

That will be interesting! Hopefully she doesn't start roosting too high too soon.

Those are looking great!

Quite interesting to say the least!

Wow! That red one is solid!

They fit right in.

Azog looks real good! Quite Liege like. That's an excellent picture, looks like they belong there.

They are all dark, indication that the Indo color genes are dominant in this case.

I had some Ganoi years ago that never backed down from the guineas no matter how old the Ganoi were. All my Ganoi were raised by both parents so the youngsters never had to face the guineas on their own. Even so, I noticed that if they did happen to clash with a guinea despite having the...

I appreciate your approach to developing the ultimate free range fowl for your area.

I agree with what you've shared here concerning the 18 month molt. There is also, at least in my fowl a 9-11 month molt that is a good expression of the fuller feathered 18 month molt. Consider when most broody hen hatched chicks happen and then count forward from then to get your 18 month molt...

I had a hen that looked like that after a fox got a hold of her. She got away from him and healed up fine, but acted traumatized for almost two weeks afterward.

I'm not surprised that the pure Sumatra didn't survive very long. In my experience the show lines have had some of their instinct bred out of them, not necessarily because someone tried to, but simply because they weren't allowed to be predator savvy due to being overly protected in pens. I also...
