Longtails! PURE AND MIXED!!!

This is year one for my yokonix....he's not happy about being separated from his hen. I haven't told him that he has another year to go. Hopefully his tail continues to get some length.
 
Ok so when you cross them with another breed, are you crossing the rooster long tails with a regular hen? Or a long tail hen with a regular rooster? Or does that work when you cross a long tail hen with a regular rooster? I know I have been told that rooster combs are passed onto baby chicks more so then the hens combs to the chicks. But I never thought about the tails.
 
DOH! Just saw your answer on the egg thing...


I lost my Gainsborough to a possum. Big fat sucker of a possum. Thing had to weigh about 20 pounds. He went into to the coop during the day while the birds were all out, and I never saw him. He was in the coop itself, and even in the winter, my birds are still roosting in the run except 2 faverolle hens. Well the possum went after the fav hens, and ripped out tails. I think Gains went into rescue, cuz he was just AWESOME in the hen protection dept, and he was no match for this monster... Monster took several bullets to kill... yeah... I was pretty mad, and devestated. Gainsboroughs tail was nearly 3 feet long at the time of his murder by possum.... THREE FEET! I still have honey, and think she'll be thrown in with Snow and Red Devil...
 
Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and just want to share to see what you all think. I crossed a red phoenix with my moms oriental blue meat hen mut and got these results. The first pic is the father. The mother is the hen in the second pic, the rooster with her is one of the sons. And the rest are the offspring. I got diverse results because the hen is a mix of many.

Thanks. Yes the hen looks awful but she is actually OK. She is the mommy to all the others. She used to be very pretty, black with silver leaving on the neck and breast, however I think it was a combo of her active mate and molting. Now she looks like a vulture.
