To be honest I do like my males cuddly . After taking care of the female duties, however

I simply ADORE cuddly roosters!!

Harold waiting for his wife Bluespot let him imprint the two chicks she has under her wings.

Barking Bracket with her mottly crew of chicks.

Dink. She looks so sweet. She fought anyone including a Goshawk, a dog and about every bantam male she met.

I would take the genetics determine behaviour with a large sackfull of salt. What genetics can tell you if you can trace far enough back is what a chicken may look like and that's about it with our current level of knowledge on the subject.

That's relatively good to hear, since that means I have hope with re-establishing broodiness within Tsouloufati. After lurking your thread quite a bit, I must admit I am a little bit "inspired" to try out a tribal system with no breed goal in mind, but I don't think I'll ever do it. What I will do is have a few Cruella offspring on the property. Hopefully sooner rather than later, as well. She is an excellent forager, broody, and bird in general. Hoping that by crossing her to Lady Gaga, my serama cockerel, I can get some good results. Photo of Lady Gaga and Cruella because I like them

Cruella makes a picture perfect momma.

Cute Serama! ❤

Ugh, they're gorgeous! And so similar to Cruella! I'm beyond perplexed since I can't imagine Cruella is genetically linked to any Catalan birds. It seems that, maybe just like the Tsouloufati, similar climates shaped similar birds?

And yes, I know I've said that mixing breeds isn't my cup of tea. I still stand by that. But it's...it's Cruella. Did you really think I wouldn't have some of her descendants?

Feel free to step in, post along with us, laugh, cry, yell, scream... we do it all and enjoy having others join in on our insanity.

Well, mostly @fluffycrow does

(sorry for the late reply on this, my internet was poop yesterday and it wouldn't send. But the comment was too funny not to send late.)

She's offspring worthy with her looks and personality! ❤
