PBA(Parrot Beak Asil/Aseel) USA, Project(And Discussion Thread)

[MysteryChicken]

Okay, since I'm breeding my Malays next spring, & mine carry some particular traits, like short/blunt beaks, Shrimp tail, fan tail, & now just found out mine carry long tail traits too.

This is Goliath

The hen he bred this year.

Their son, Long.

This project is pretty much straight forward. I've just gotta select for short beaks, & long tails until I get the results I'm looking for. It could take 3-5+ years depending on where I start.

I may add some Sumatra to help exaggerate the tail abit, & for an extra boost.

I'm currently looking for a good quality, less pugnacious Aseel breed to add to my Malays bloodline for genetics diversity.

Questions, & tips are welcome.

I'll be interested to see how it turns out I love oriental games (I have Ko Shamos myself) and have always been curious about the Parrot Beak Aseels.

Can't wait to see how they turn out! Asils are one of my favorite breeds.

Those are the Bantam Shamo, they're very funky looking little guys.

Here's a picture I Screenshotted for reference. I want big birds.

They're true bantams - not related to the big Shamos There ARE bantam Shamos, that are actually small versions of the large Shamos.

I only bring this up because I once had a judge at an actual sanctioned poultry show not pay attention, judge my Ko as a bantam Shamo, and DQ her for her split wings that she HAS to have or be DQ'd.

So that was a fun conversation to have to have with the judge, lol. Still not sure how he did it because he must have not read her cage card at all, and then not realized that an actual bantam Shamo would look very different, and THEN still not be tipped off by her split wings and DQ her for them.

This is one I don't quite get, they're Shamos, but are deemed different cause a few different features, like Shrimp Tail, Walnut comb, Split wing? Japanese class their birds weirdly.

Honestly they look like stumpy Bantam Malays too me.

The first Shamo I met was at a Chicken show. That was the longest legged, longest necked chicken I've ever seen. Since he was a show chicken he had a calm demeanor. The way he stared at the Judge with those yellowish eyes was unnerving. Didn't resist being picked up, palpated all over but like a typical chicken he plopped a big poop as soon as he was put down. He then looked the Judge right in the eye as if to say, 'Judge that."

Would've been funnier if the judge was pooped on.
