Hey, maybe that will make them more popular! That'd be super hard though unless you did a massive side project with crossing various birds to maintain body style and size, tail angle, and leg color while developing your color. Then you could breed your cocomutt back to your Yokohamas and cull...
The cocopop is a very beautiful color. Wouldn't cocopop Yokos look amazing?? It's basically like a fawn duckwing color with a lacing and charcoal gene.
I have many cockerels and cocks for sale right now, very few hens which must be sold in pairs only (one roo for every hen).
This tiny curly wheaten roo is breeding now. He is for sale. Would like him to go with his wheaten frizzle pal pictured below.
One year old laced cock - light lacing...
More eggs now available. New chicks are hatching every day! It's like a serama zoo! I have a dozen sitting on my counter right now, just collected this morning. They are being turned at least twice a day. They will be individually wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped fat end up with packing...
Yes they are giants for sure! I'm glad that there are seramas there - they are so sweet! Black tailed white ones are boring. I'm in the process of selling some of my birds to make room. Maybe I'll be allowed to have some Yokos then!
I have! But I don't love them any less. It just taught me to be very cautious about the birds that I buy. And yes, the best quality comes from dedicated breeders who breed the birds for quality instead of quantity. Maybe someday I will order some eggs or started yokos and pretend to be...
I think he likes their bald necks and thinks they look like little turkeys. He likes turkeys.
To answer your question, I was a kid in 4-H and I really had no idea that they were that bad off. I didn't know what I was getting into. It was a hard lesson to learn. Yokohamas were SO difficult to...
LOL he has four! He begged me for two or three years for them and I caved in. I know about Yokos because I've been a chicken freak for 22 years of my life. I had a small start of Yokos over a decade and a half ago. They were weak, inbred, with crooked keels among other many deformities. The...
Gosh, I don't think I will anytime soon. I'd really love some but I have so many seramas! And my son just took on a naked neck project... And my other half got a bunch of brahmas without my consent.
