Lobster-tailed Breeds- Sumatra and Cubalaya

[Amer]

No. A neighbors dog killed it.

Aw... she was so pretty

I absolutely adore the lobster-tailed body type, are there any other breeds besides Sumatras and Cubalayas that have it? I'm also curious about the genetics side of it as it's something I'd like to incorporate into a future project, although I know body type genetics aren't as straightforward as color genetics.

Has anybody kept Sumatras or Cubalayas that would like to share their experiences on what they thought of the birds? I'm definitely considering adding some of one or both breeds to my flock at some point.

I've begun a project with BBR Cubalayas and am searching for some fertile eggs to hatch from other breeders to strengthen my flock. Once I get a good, breed specific, flock going, I'll be glad to sell fertile eggs, young chicks and trios to nearby residents in North Texas.
I'm doing the same with the White-faced Black Spanish breed.

If you don't have WFBS stock already, Bob Wilson has the best imported line and sells hatching eggs. I hatched the WFBS I had last year from his eggs.

Not Sumatra or Cubalaya. No lobster tail. Maybe comment on these on another thread
