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

Thinking about getting Modern Games for the project instead of Cornish. It'll add extra legginess, to the chicken breed.

Okay. But they won't be as heavy if that's what you're looking for

The heaviness will be from the Brahma. I was looking for something sporty, but leggy. Plus the Saipans will add heaviness too. The roosters get upto 13 pounds, & 3ft tall.

Forgive me for not searching back, but what's your plans now for the breed?

Edit: I literally went back a page and saw. A very ambitious project, do post pictures when you can

I'm still brainstorming on this new breed.
Are talking about plans for how I want the breed to be used for?

I'll post pictures of the birds when I get them, & when I begin.

Feel free to share anything here. Originally I was wondering what breeds you were going to use, but I'd like to know what you had in mind for the purpose too

@mystery Chicken, I was just wondering if your new breed you were going to make pure or rust different crosses all in on breed.

I lost this thread and I haven't been on backyard chickens in months! So glad I found it again.

Sad news. I found my Big Boy dead in the henhouse with his neck wrung. This wasn't an animal killing, he had no obvious wounds. No sign of a bad rooster fight either.

Oh no! Did he get stuck on something?
