    Project criticism - what do you think a project is?

    Quote: They used to come in Red, Cuckoo, White, Black and Spangled. Since the spangled variety are still in the US the breeders should focus on having them approved by the APA first, like to amazondoc mentioned about the Marans, and adding the other colors one at a time down the road as they...

    Project criticism - what do you think a project is?

    Why should the focus be on conformation and color? How many chicken owners keep chickens strictly for show compared to how many keep chickens for other reasons? We all interact with our chickens so surely we would want the primary focus to be on the character and disposition of the breed...

    Project criticism - what do you think a project is?

    Not all projects are about creating something new either, some projects are about recapturing traits. I would applaud someone who had a project to bring the RIRs back to their historically laying highs while keeping close to show quality. One of my projects is to reinvigorate the Russian...

    Project criticism - what do you think a project is?

    Yay, Headcase's brother, although I'd argue that he's less likely to be called ugly since he has all his head feathers! He looks great Cuban Longtails, here's hoping his "little projects" hatch for you today I think I'll accuse everyone who doesn't like my projects of having chicken envy from...

    Project criticism - what do you think a project is?

    I've always thought that the word 'pure' shouldn't apply to chickens. It misleads so many people into thinking that their beloved stock was never crossed and selected towards the traits that define it as a breed. Once your project breeds true to both type and color, it is in my opinion allowed...
