my neighbors love these birds.
I select for a pure sound as possible, I don't like those scratchy sounding ones like you see sometimes.
In fact I am breeding the Tomaru and Denizli together, as well as outcrossing the Denizli to my Rosecomb Phoenix and Sumatra
I need to get current pics of those pullets up soon.
When you outcross, say to a longtail bird with less size, you lose some length of crow. But when you take that back to the longcrower size you can get all of the length back. I am hoping that each time I cross I improve my birds.
I don't really have any intention of breeding a lot of pure Tomaru or pure Denizli, but rather to breed in a little bit of longtail blood to beautify them.
so I have the Denizli/Sumatra hens that I raised last winter. and I am going to breed them to my Tomaru rooster this fall. I want to get some with long tails, gypsy faced, peacombed, and a long crow.
I also have three hens from my Rosecomb Phoenix rooster and a Denizli hen, they are being bred back to the rosecomb rooster. as he has a whole lot of desireable traits. Great color, build, I like his comb, almost perfect lobes, lanceolate breast feathering, AND he has a longer-than-usual crow for a phoenix.
