Cubalaya Thread For Sharing Pics and Discussing Our Birds

[4hmom]

that is just what i was thinking is that it might somehow be a ressesive blue, i am planning on keeping the blue red to see. and the american game that is the black parent is for sure a black(she has the green shimmer as she is from a very good breeder). will post some pics later

blue if it is already inside the genes of the a bird will pop out from time to time, I have bbred from blue reds and a both wheaton or bbreds have thrown blue reds, Jim zook as the best bantam blue reds I have ever seen so if you want some he has the BEST!!!

I would like to possibly be nominated for officer position on the new club? any POS or Negs on the subject? From other members, I am very young, yet, and have a fair amount of knowledge with the breed and plan to have many more.

shamoman how much do your bantams weigh, my average sized cock is about 32-38oz.

Honestly I havnt weighed them but I can say they are definately bantams comparing to a sumatra bantam some a little smaller or about the same size I am not looking to make money on these just want them out there, color doesnt concern me yet, only type, like I said jim zook has the best I have seen but I did give him a really good male to start with, he came out of a lady in Michigan, forget the name but she had some real nice stock, jim got some spangleds out of that stock and he inturn game them to me so pretty much besides that blood all I am working with is a backstep of a cross between those and my standards, as I felt my opinion they lacked some type yet, but size was very considerable for a bantam. I am amazed tho at the progress the bantams have had. When I first had bantam cubalaya back in the early 90's they were horrible typed, so bad I gave up till I met the lady in MI and got a chance to have something I could actually call a cubalaya bantam.

My little project birds are starting to show their stuff. They will be 8 weeks old in a few days. The white one is pure cubalaya, wheaton
hen with white cock. The dark ones are half cubalaya
,

half asil.

My favorite so far:








I had a little accident in editing and made some photos greayscale. Oops
