Breeding Preferences

[cubalaya]

I have always tried to breed my cubalayas to the standard of perfection. Some faults i can live with. Some drive me crazy. The whites have the fewest faults so i only breed the white cubalayas now. My asils are probably better than sop

How many of you breed by standards or just breed what you like? If either your thoughts or suggestions.

I have my own standard for my birds primarily, especially when doing a breeding projects.
My Chameleons, are primarily are planned to be just a Hardy Landrace Breed, with Easter Egger, Australorp, Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, & Gamefowl mixed in. But Gamefowl isn't in their make up quite yet(Blue Face Hatch, & Malay). I'm wanting their body type, smooth, & oval, with long necks, legs, & somewhat heavy. Egg Production isn't that important, but I want them to be broody.


The PBA in USA project I'm following the SOP for Parrot Beak Aseels from India.(Using Indian Malays as my Base)

I do plan on showing birds at some point, & have Show Stock Bantam Silkies, both of what I got from a breeder, & I hatched. But I don't have my Book of SOP with me currently.

I always breed to the standard. Regardless of breed. Obviously any good program is also going to focus on health and productivity as well.
