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 was studying your drawing. Looks like a lanky bird.Feathers if attainable would be amazing. If you have the space, time,money for feed, and drive, I say go for it. I would try to correspond with as many experienced breeders here on this forum as possible to get their input. I would contact someone like @The Moonshiner , if he's inclined to do so,he is an encyclopedia of information.
One quick question; something simple;
what would the leg color be in your bird?

I'm gonna be using Saipans for long legs, neck, tight feathers, muscular body, & added height.

Sumatra for the long flowy black shiny feathers, plus added muscularity.

EE for the blue egg gene.

Brahma for added weight, & some fluff, but not excessive.

Cornish(Undecided)

Silkie for black skin, & walnut comb.

Why don’t you use a legbar for blue egg gene? Because EE could lay green, brown or literally any color. And you wouldn’t know what egg gene he’s carrying.

I know which of mine lay blue, or carry the blue egg gene. So those that I know who lays blue, are the ones I use.

Probably. These guys came from stromburgs and cackle lines
