It's time for Nicalandia to create his own breed of Chickens

[MysteryChicken]

In the Bekisar the Dewlap is just an extension of the earlobes, as you know Silkies have Turquoise colored earlobes, but that is because Fibromalanotic turns white earlobes to that color, I have seen a Bekisar with White face and dewlap which is the result of a cross between a green jungle fowl and a white face spanish hen. Le me find the video,

My White pullet from my
Giant silkie project isn't Fibro, but has bright blue earlobes. I don't think she has Gypsy Face, since her face isn't dark, except some of her beak.

Often times we see that many enthusiastic posters would love to create their own cool looking or very unique chicken breed, they would like to add features of many breeds into their own. This is very cool and it will teach them a lot about chickens and a lot about themselves(as in perhaps you are not as patient or dedicated as you thought you were), it's truly a learning experience. Well guys it's my time to do that.


The truth is that I am not creating a new breed as it's pretty ancient, but not found on this side of the world(the Western Hemisphere). Also in Indonesia they are just F1 hybrids, they do not pursue a self breeding breed because they are only interested on how the F1 roosters Crow. The F2s and F3s lose the distinctive crow of the F1 hybrid rooster, the F2 and subsequent progeny males crow like regular domestic roosters.

The name on Indonesia is Ayam Bekicem(Bekisar Cemani), they are the result of the breeding of a male Green Junglefow with a Cemani hen, they looks spectacular.


Green Junglefow(Gallus various) also called Ayam Hutan Hijau in Indonesia

This one seems to have a pea comb, which is very interesting as well(Clearly not Cemani Heritage but melanistic itself)

My biggest hurdle will be getting a Green Junglefowl male, other than that the breeding program is pretty straight forward.

Hello nicalandia! That 1st green jungle fowl rooster is magnificent! The color and design is breathtaking. Here's to successful breeding!

That is true, there are instances of blue earlobes without Fibromelanotic

Personally I’ve always wanted an oscellatedxdomestic turkey variety, but Occelated turkeys are even harder to find than green jungle fowl around here! Very fragile too.
Nice project.

I've heard that they simply wont breed in captivity. I've wanted those too for years. Might have to settle for buying feathers

I could not find the video but I will keep looking for it, here is the White Faced Ayam Bekisar picturd

What causes that? I've been curious since I've seen it on birds with red earlobes.

Its one of the greatest unanswered mysteries left in genetics

I'm in the USA and I know where to find green jungle fowl breeders.

Where? I can only find them straight from Indonesia and that is a very, very big no-no
