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

[MysteryChicken]

After my first Projects are finished, I'll be attempting to make a new breed using specific breeds.

________________________________________

In about 2-3 years from now I'll be attempting to make a new breed. Calling it an Emerald Dragon.

The breed will consist of Black Sumatra/Silkie X Brahma/Easter Egger.

Features of the breed: Slick shiny black plumage, with long flowy tail, saddle, & hackle feathers.

Legs must be long, & muscular.

Body type will be muscular, & of sporty type.

Comb type will be walnut.

The skin will be black.

Number of toes will be 4.

Feathered Feet: (Optional)

No crest, or beard.

Attitude: Depends on the birds.

Purpose: Multipurpose: Meat, Eggs, & Ornamental.

Egg color: Cream to Off white, or light green.

Weight type: Heavy, 10-12 pounds.


Here's my idea for the roosters.

I think that'll be a nice looking bird. The only thing is the variability you get from the EE. Those are already barnyard mixes really.

Maybe Ameraucana

I know about the EE, one reason I'm gonna wait until my first couple projects to be finished first.

Here's some Brahma/Easter Egger crosses I hatched out for meat birds this year, but I'll be hatching out more for this new breed project.

The most prominent colors produced from this cross is Silver, copper, gold, & Silver partridge.

Maybe Ameraucana

If I had any.
I can only use what I have, but I can probably get some Ameracaunas next year. Meyer hatchery carries Blue, Black, & Splash Ameracauna chicks.
Their Easter Eggers are separate.

Here's the best looking Brahma/Easter Egger cross, & he's a monster in size. I hope I hatch out another like him.

Here's my Sumatra cockerel.

He'll give the black feathering, long plumage, & sporty body type.
