One of the main reasons I'm chasing this breed! And what kind of hater could hate on a cute fluffy chick? I want the hawks to be nervous coming around my property!

I am so amazed though out of all the breeders I ran down via e-mail from the livestock conservancy, only one has replied and none have offered up breeder photos. I think in the US this breed has probably really died out and will require some dedicated folks or deep pockets to bring them back to their standard of perfection.

------edit---------

by deep pockets i mean importations from Germany and Aussieland.

If you get them up to bred to standard you could be sitting on a gold mine!

----especially if you can get that opaline eye gene in them too!

For OP and @Chickassan this is a well worth a read particularly developmental feeding for Malays.
