Not sure if this is the best forum, but has anyone else tried to create their own new breed? I've been planning one for years and finally getting started on it. You can read more here: http://fithfath.com/farm/poultry/chickens/a-new-chicken-breed-for-the-city/
If you have tried, what did you aim to develop? did you feel you were successful or not, and why?
I am in Illinois near Chicago, so if anyone is interested, I can use help later with people helping to hatch eggs- like school class projects, or people who can only have chickens for X-months a year due to local laws that make an exception for 4_H projects etc. Others can help too- and keep some of the chicks if they like, I wont be able to use them all after all!
