What breed is the black chicks

What breed is the black chicks

They are all the same cross where they are between half and 2/3's Rampuri Aseel with the balance mostly Shuffler with a touch of KC Toppy. The Aseel is the source black and tight down if that is what you are keying in on.

There are more colors in the brood than the picture shows. My son is having too much fun discussing what they grow into with respect to coloration. I keep telling him we will get looks we have not seen before.

Cool. It'll be neat for the kids to see how they feather out. Have you been doing anything with chickens and the schools

 

[centrarchid]

Schools, not lately, just public events. My son in particular has been taking over the trained chicken display freeing me up for the aquatic critter side of things. We have an event in Charleston, Missouri this coming Monday. Four hour drive each way.

Son is learning how to convey concepts with the camera phone. He learned hard way that baiting chicks with large meal worms causes them to scatter.

Those shufflers are great cocks.

We found someone in Virginia with another shuffler line, the first-generation cross is help in high regard. The chicks above do not look like shufflers at all.
