As I am always on the look-up for dual purpose breeds which are almost absent in Uzbekistan, I could not miss this one. A couple of breeders in the country offer "Korean Hanhyap", describing them as productive, with a good number of eggs per year and a hefty weight. I hatched several chicks this year; sadly, I messed up the incubator settings, so I only have eight chicks, but I hope it will be enough to come to some conclusions re their productivity. However, I am quite puzzled about the breed. Does it even exist? When I google them, I find extremely scarce results and most of those are from Uzbekistan (like they were invented here), several from Russia (even a PhD thesis on raising Hanhyap) and almost nothing in English. Can't search Korean, frankly it is too much trouble.
So I will just attach photos of the parents and then a photo of my chicks, and will appreciate your comments. Frankly, I suspect they might be descendants of RIRs or maybe even Lohmann Browns? What are your thoughts?
(The enigmatic red chicks are shown with my pure and mixed Jerseys; all of these chicks are 9 weeks old, and sorry about the quality).
