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

[MysteryChicken]

Why don't you just go for an all black Cubalaya based bird with Rose Comb?

I don't have that breed, but it's a good suggestion.

I'm still brainstorming, & deciding whether, or not to use Cornish for meatiness.

I recognize you. I've seen your leghorn thread.

I re-sketched the Emerald Dragon. I added color. Green, & purple is iridescence.

Looks like my (yet to be named) new Sumatra male when he comes down from the barn roof

You have a Sumatra?

Excuse my boy Shadow's tail? He's regrowing it. A couple girls decided he'd look better without a tail.

A young pair and one I'm waiting to sex in a few months. Hoping a girl but with my luck, it's a male. My girls on the tiny side though and my male is probably at the tip of their weight end

I was able to sex mine at a few weeks by comb. I have two, that were supposed to be pullets. I have one cockerel, & pullet that just turned 10 weeks today.

Do you have pictures?

I can get some tomorrow. Mine don't even develop combs until like 4 months though, same with their feathering

The first two, or this one?

I guss all three.

Sounds like we have different bloodlines.

I'm only working on two right now, which is my Giant Silkie project, & Wheaten Crele Orpingtons.

The only thing I'm getting done for this project for now is the F1 crosses needed for when I'm ready to begin.
