    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I know two people who have been trying to perfect free-ranging semi-wild birds for many years. The one guy moved but a few years back he went by his old neighborhood and said that he still saw some of his birds running around. The other guy has gone complete survivalist and doesn’t go on the...

    Ear Color Hypothesis

    I only know what was in his post. Beyond that I have no idea. Certainly something with fibro.

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I get that…it’s how nature works. The problem is that nature works over millennia so by letting nature do the selection it will take many human lifetimes to get there. A good example is Rex. You like him a lot but he might be riddled with heterozygous genes. If he breeds for 10 years as your...

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    The reason to distinguish between F1, F2, F3, etc. is that if you keep breeding to those early birds you don’t concentrate homozygosity. You want to pick the best of the next generation for breeding and eliminate the older generation so you can move forward. Also, if Rex has a lot of...

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I’ve also used Asian game (O Shamo) to add body size to my project birds. For me I absolutely don’t want the low tails as I’m trying to add in long tails and I want the tails held up off of the ground instead of them dragging. So far it’s added increased body size and egg size but most birds are...

    Show off your roosters

    I’m excited about this little cockerel from my purple poultry project:

    Leakage has been a real battle for me.

    Here’s a little cockerel with color that seems to stand out among the others his age:

    If I recall correctly it was the turner motor. It’s been a few years since I fixed it so I barely remember.

    Let’s Talk About Bird Flu

    Yep. It follows the main flyways of migratory waterfowl. While it may look like the whole country is inna flyway the reality is some areas are much more congested with migratory waterfowl than others. Where I live in Chattanooga, TN we aren’t in a major flyway when you look at actual bird...

    It's time for Nicalandia to create his own breed of Chickens

    Check out the comb that appeared on one of my cockerels in my breeding project. He’s quite young so it will be interesting to see if it ends up shaped like a Green Jungle Fowl at maturity. Right now it’s pretty darn close to what you’d see on an immature Green male. No Green Jungle Fowl in this...

    Pumpkin Hulsey Color Genetics?

    I think that’s true but the only Pumpkin I had I found dead in the cage with his toes eaten off. He was in a quarantine cage and I think some predator got him freaked out enough to bang himself against the cage until he was dead or injured and whatever it was ate his toes off where they poked...

    Iridescent feathers

    Actually this bird is a bit crazy and wild but with enough takes I can get a video like this where it seems relaxed.
