Hypothetical Project - Creating a Dinosaur-like Chicken

[Egg Snatcher]

@AGeese, I found some Rezal Aseel on eBay, they have the face of what you, I think, are going for.

Would naked-bred (controversial, to me) and naked-neck breeds possibly be a good candidate to cross breed with Aseel or some similar breed? Could be pretty interesting. There is scientific evidence showing what appears to be feathers (or proto-feathering) on many fossils of chickens ancestors. So, could a chicken become more dinosaur-like again? Who knows really what chicken evolution could produce in the future.

Good luck!

If it flies, will it be a dragon?
Also, are there any bald chicken breeds?
Green legs would be cool too.

Naked Neck chickens have featherless necks. Their are chickens will green legs so that should be able to be bred in.

This rooster is an aseel x Liege cross. He’s about 1.5 years old with a lot of maturing left to do. I believe when he has his 18 month molt his tail feathers will come out long and flowing and give the illusion of having a dinosaur-like tail. He has wing claws and likes to catch and eat mice. He stands slightly under 2 feet tall, so small for a bird with Liege genes. I expect him to grow in height only slightly more.

I have bred him back to Liege to produce chicks that are 3/4 Liege. Those bird will end up being the size full Liege I think. But whether they’ll keep his fierce look I cannot say.

He’s almost 2 now. His long sickles give the illusion of having a dinosaur-like tail.
