Beautiful!

You know what always makes me laugh, though...whenever a chicken or Roo is moved or turned, the head always tries to stay facing the same position & does not want to be turned or moved with the body, cracks me up.

Gorgeous!

Nicalandia, any progress on this project? Any luck sourcing greens or Besikers in the US?

I actually am in the infant stages of trying to do a Grey and Ceylon Jungle Faux, i have some hybrid stock from Will Lawrence, and i have a young Grey male over Red hens now as well. I'd like to try with Greens too.

I've managed to track down one deceased breeder (with the help of Rob) and a second via the US Jungle Fowl FB group. But, he strikes me as a dead end.

I don't believe I would have any luck with adult Greens due to my winter climate, unless I got a male of breeding age in the spring, which would eventually be a sacrifice and not something I'd like to do. But, I believe if I started with Besikers, I'd be off running.
