Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

The gold/Red leakage shouldn't be to much of a problem to get rid of.

Red barred Rocks might become a new hit.

I was thinks about the red barred rocks! And I might just breed him anyways and see what the offspring look like.

Pretty pair!

Thanks.
I recently culled the rooster to add new blood in the spring.

You were thinking the something? How neat.
Post the babies when you do it?

Not exactly a project as such but I'm just hoping to achieve some Silkies of a nice British Standard. Getting them as small as I possibly can!

I'm focusing on my pure whites and partridges, all bearded.

We have a black Silkie Roo we are trying to breed with two Ayam Cemani hens. I would love to have truly melanistic silkies. But maybe I’ll just get broodie Cemani hens. We’ll see lol.

Sounds like a good plan.

I had the same idea, but forgot about it. Curious on how this project will turn out for you.

I was also going to breed mottled Java’s but both the cockerels I had ended up passing and I cannot for the life’s of me find another cockerel or rooster. I drove an hour for one and spent 2 hours in the woods trying to catch him too! I’ve thought about breeding them to a mottled Orpington rooster and going from there.

I thought Javas were black.
That's sad how you lost your boys. I can't imagine chasing a chicken around in the woods for 2 hours.

I'll be creating a line of Muff GameFowl that doesn't fight. Non-Fighting Muff GameFowl.
My Cockerels for my Project is a: Black Copper Maran/GameFowl cross

and an EE.

The Pullets for the project are Red JungleFowl.

There's only 2 Red JungleFowl pullets.

I may add black sumatra to the line later on, or a different type of game.
