In about 2-3 years, I'll be creating a new Breed of chicken called the Emerald Dragon.(Discussion)

Ok, so i finshed the ref picture and i think this is more of a dream than a reality right now. The breeds i currently own have some of the right genetics for what I want but unless i dig deep into this breeding then i will have to get more breeds. View attachment 2602270

Looks like a mix of Langshan, & Vorwerk. Not sure how the red shoulders will be brought into the silver base.

OH yeah, I love bantams!! But if you need to start at the large fowl first do that, then make the bantam version..

I know you need the Large Fowl first before starting a bantam version.

Not really actually. I'll be breeding away from the typical traits that Makes an EE. I'm only including EEs in the project for the blue egg, gene to create the green egg color this breed will lay. Plus they're the only ones I have that lay blue eggs.

I see. I just instantly thought, "wait. EE is just a mix, so how do you get an actual breed out of a mix." But i had a dumb moment. Most Breeds originated from crosses anyhow, lol.

The bird itself wouldn't be Silver, but a cream color once the Mahogany Gene is added.
Calculator couldn't produce a picture.

We all have moments.

It would also have blue white lacing. A red shoulder would be only in the males.

Thats why its a dream for now. I wish there was a chicken that looked like it. Maybe I could try someday.

Yes, I calculated the Male's genes.

I saw no lacing in the picture, so I didn't add those genes.

It's fine, we all have dreams. Wouldn't hurt to attempt it.

Heres a funky bird I produced a few years ago.
