Chicken Hybrid Project?

[buddhabrahma905]

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best/ easiest hybrid to create with a chicken and another bird. I've heard the story of Miracle, and would like a cute little guinhen of my onw. Any hybridization tips are appreciated.

I'm confused, do you want a guinea chicken hybrid, or a chicken and something else hybrid?

And also, would this then be a hybird? Cause I get those at Freebirds all the time. *drum crash*

Any hybrid would be fine. AI possible, but I'd rather have a natural hybrid. Also, does anyone have a chicken that lays purple eggs. I've heard about those.

I guess the ideal cross would be an RIR rooster to a blonde guinea hen:/

jesirose, do you happen to know of a supplier of blue isbars. They look REALLY cool.

I am getting mine from a local breeder. I think greenfire farms has some?

If you read all about poor Miracle, you know she died prematurely because crosses between species aren't meant to be. She had problem from her early chick days that she could not keep up with the others and didn't have the stamina. Probably she had the larger body of a chicken and the smaller heart of a guinea. It was an unplanned, natural breeding that resulted in Miracle and we all loved her.- but it wasn't something you should breed for unless you want heartache. & the suffering of another bird.

If crosses between species were not meant to be, then we wouldn't have chickens. Science has proven that domestic chickens are a cross between Red and Grey junglefowl. Hybrids are the foundation for a new and better species. I would not intentionally breed for an unhealthy bird.
