    Green Jungle Fowl feathers

    Recently I have been reading up on Green jungle fowl. A lot of sites say that the short iridescent green feathers on its neck are actually overlapping scales. Does this mean a scale pattern or that these are hard scales like on a reptile?

    Broiler Genes

    I know of a couple genes which have unique permutations in broilers, the first being one on chr2: 143,708,896 bp G896A this gene affects muscle growth rate. The next being a mutation of the Chr4: 77,192,329 CCKAR gene affecting appetite. What other genes specific to broilers result in their...

    The Black Shumen: The Breed of the Byzantines

    After doing some research on Roman and Byzantine Roman Chicken Breeds I found the Black Shumen, a rare breed used by Byzantine Romans and Bulgarians. Lets say as a hypothetical I wanted to produce a modern Roman gamefowl and I crossed it to the Roman Pit game the OEG and their dual purpose, the...

    Shamoid Confirmation

    I have been interested in Oriental gamefowl and there confirmation of body. Recently I have seen a lot of pictures of gamefowl who are all neck and less leg and torso. For those who have Oriental Gamefowl with very good confirmation, what are the measurements like as an average on your breed for...

    Indio Gigantes and Defects

    Recently I found someone who breeds Indio Gigantes, I like their enormous height but it looks like they have crooked toes and their color is pretty bad.i also think they might be Stork legged though it could be their upright stance. Does anyone notice any other defects? I want to get into...

    Indio Gigante and the Standard of Perfection

    I have been fascinated for a very long time with the Indio Gigante and their absurd heights of 40 inches flat footed and above. I have found a couple breeders but it appears they only breed for the size and vigor of the bird, and not for confirmation of body or color, I have seen some with so...

    Cornish Lacing genetics

    Ive been doing some reading for a friend on Cornish lacing genetics. As I understand it Dark Cornish are double laced, but Jubilees are red with the Columbia gene and the white lace Gene. My friend wants to produce silver laced Cornish like his Wyandottes and the way he proposed was crossing the...

    Fibro Easter Eggers/Olive Eggers

    Recently I have been looking at Fibro Easter Eggers and Fibro Olive Eggers to add the blue egg gene and fibro to a breeding project while still being bigger than a Cemani. Does anyone produce Fibro EE or Fibro Olive Eggers larger than Cemani?

    The Naga Cemani

    Due to the largely positive reception of the questions by @MysteryChicken about the Emerald Dragon project I've been looking to write a more detailed post on the project I will begin in the next few years, the Naga Cemani. The Naga Cemani, or "Black Dragon" is my attempt to breed some of the...

    Breeds of these Heirloom statues?

    My great grandmother owns a huge collection of items with roosters, including plates, statues, paintings etc. These are her two favorites. What would you say are the best breed approximations of these two statues?

    Silkie Black JG

    I have been looking for a breed to add silkie feathering, fibromelanism, and polydactyly to a breed project I'm working on. I'd like to use pure silkies but it would be of detriment to the size I'm looking for. Question for people who bred Silkie, Black Jersey Giant Crosses, did they have Fibro...

    Ayam Cemani Crosses

    Recently I have been considering doing a cross between an Oriental gamefowl and an Ayam Cemani, I have found that Ayam Cemani are a fairly small breed but that some have created crosses with other larger breeds that have come out larger, such as fibro Easter eggers. Does anyone know of any...

    Size genetics and Culling

    Are exceptionally large breeds of show quality ever culled for being too big that they do not reflect their breed. Like a Brahma or Black Jersey Giant for example? I am looking for an exceptionally tall and heavy bird like a Black Jersey Giant and I am curious if anyone would cull for them being...

    Silkie Large Fowl

    I have heard that the Large Fowl variety of Silkies are not shown in the U.S. and so very few keep them. I am trying to compile a list of potential breeders that my friend could buy an LF silkie roo from here in the states. That is to say, a good quality silkie which is 14 inches tall or more...

    Silkie Broilers and Large Fowl

    I saw a link to Silkie broilers and heard that there are large fowl silkies in other countries https://thechickhatchery.com/home/white-silkie-broiler/ Are these the same thing? I am also concerned that a hatchery quality one may have a vaulted skull or not have Fibro and polydactyly. I am...

    Silkie Crosses and leg feathers

    I have heard about leg feathers being a dominant trait in Silkies, has anyone who has produced crosses with silkies ever made a bird with the hookless gene or extra toes, or fibromelanism, but with scales on the legs rather than feathers?

    Fibromelanism and crossbreeding

    I am looking at crossing an oriental fowl roo like an asil or ga noi with an ayam cemani hen. I have heard about how fibromelanism is sex linked and it may not appear in one gender or the other. The other breeds potentially in the cross are bad egg layers, worse than the Cemani, so I would...

    Silkies with long legs

    I was looking at Silkie traits on this website https://silkie.org/faults-in-silkies.html and found an image of a silkie with longer legs like this: How commonly does this appear? I know in a show quality bird this would be undesirable but I quite like it and it would be good for a cross I am...

    Ayam Cemani and Malayoid crosses

    I have been interested for a long time in the particularly large game-fowl like Malay and Indio Gigante breeds. Ayam Cemani's were one of the first breeds to really get me into chickens. If I were to take an Indio Gigante Rooster and cross it with Ayam Cemani hens, would it look like a...
