6+ Wheaten/Barred Wheaten Shamo Eggs

Illia, can you tell me whose line these birds are? I am very interested.

 

[Illia]

They are from Jim Zook lines. Looking to get some new blood this summer to widen flock diversity, though.

Do they do well in hot weather? Its 80* out now, so you can tell how hot it gets in the summer. It's all desert.

 

[Illia]

Hot weather is what they were born to live in.

Naturally they're very heat-hardy and not cold hardy, however if raised to get used to the cold, and not raised in a place like Alaska or Vermont, they're fine. Most Oriental Gamefowl in the USA are raised in California, Oklahoma, Arizona, etc.

thanks

sorry, saw the answers! I don't know why all the posts didn't show up at first!

Can you tell me why you call them barred wheaten instead of creole or crele, which is what color the male is? I understand the female is a wheaten, but the male is crele.

Quote:
No, he isn't. Crele is specifically a Barred Duckwing. He's a Barred Wheaten, and with there being no name for that, I'm calling him and his offspring what they are.

His father was Wheaten, mother was a Barred Wheaten.

So, from this pair, you'll get a 50/50 of Barred Wheatens and normal Wheatens. No creles in there - Although I could likely make some when I have Dark Shamos, but that's down the road, and I'm not breeding these for "fun colors."
