New breed projects?

[cariboujaguar]

I know people work on different colors or patterns of existing breeds, but is anyone working on a totally new breed all together?
Show girls are the only ones I know of... curious what their origin is, did a certain person start breeding them and then they caught on? I'm not talking about chickens who arn't in the APA or w/e, I'm talking totally brand new made up breed... so if anyone is working on one or considering doing so I would love to hear your plan...

I'm working on a few different breeds right now.

A white fluffy heavy breed, and pink laced Wyandottes.

haha Don't laugh, it is possible.

white fluffy heavy breed? Like a huge silkie? Oh I'm not laughing, if you knew my idea you'd probably be the one laughing. I like your ideas! Keep me updated please!!!

I have a few ideas for new breeds in my head, dont want to talk too much about them, someone might steal my amazing ideas. Lets just say I will call one of the new breeds "Zoya's". I have the breeding projects planned out with the first colors to be made and which would come after the first color. It will be amazing.

haha yes sort of like a huge silkie. Only in a Brahma shape. I actually have my first bird, and more eggs in the bator going right now. The Pink wyandottes are going to take a year or more to even get the first chicks though.

I am working on Sizzles. They are a Frizzled Cochin crossed on a Silkie. The one in my Avatar is one of my first ones.

my idea is similar but will take many years I think... that 'sizzle' is beautiful!

One breed I have thought about 're-making' are the white wonders. I have a few old books that mention them. They are a large white bird with feathered feet and a rose comb with yellow skin/legs. I havent found a standard description for them other than that so I am thinking maybe something like a wyandottes type with feathered feet.

Hm, that one sounds possibly easy.. just introduce rose comb into white cochins.. white Wyandotte bred with white cochins and go from there?

 

[flyingmonkeypoop]

Thats what I was thinking, maybe even rose comb white leghorn for better egg production.
