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

Thank you for telling me. Are ther hatchery with them?

There are no hatcheries with them. Besides, if you want to breed seriously hatchery birds are typically best avoided because hatcheries breed for quantity, not quality.

Meyer Hatchery is a hatchery that breeds for both Quality, & Quantity. Not all hatcheries are the same.
They sell Heritage Plymouth Barred Rocks, & true Ameracauna chicks.
Heritage Plymouth Barred Rocks are the type bred for Show, & are of original bloodlines.

I need to get updated pictures of my pullet.

Their Sumatras are really great quality too.

They don't sell Ohiki Bantams though, but they do accept breed suggestions from customers .

There's a breeder that doesn't want his Malays anymore, so I maybe able to get a few birds from him. Like 1 male, 2 females.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Well, looks like I won't be able to get the Malays since they don't make live bird shipping boxes big enough for them.

Thinking about getting a few more Brahmas for the project.

Should I get more Light Brahmas, or a different color?

Buff.

Dark.

Dark will have more black than the others so it should be easier to reach your end color

Okay, sounds good.
Will still have to work around the silver genes though.

Big Boy's brother. He's not being used for the project.
