Making a new breed.

[Chikyboy]

I have been thinking about a new breed for awhile, and this just came to me, I don't have a name for it yet, but the breeds I am using to make it are: Jersey Giants, Malays, Houdans, and Marans. I was also going add cochin, but I don't want feathered feet (not that I don't like feathered feet, it just seems on most of my breeding project ideas it always includes feathered feet). I basically want a big and bulky chicken that is a chocolate layer and has a decent sized crest that has polydactyly.

Couldn’t you just breed jersey giants with Marans? Just a suggestion, but this is exciting! Following!

I could, but then I can't get crest and polydactyly

Ah. What is polydactyl though?

Well, if you include Marans, then you'll get feathered feet with some of the results. Unless you breed it out. But I am not an expert...

Don’t you mean feathered legs?

Feathered feet and legs.

Ok. My Maran rooster had feathered legs. But they never grew all the way

Ah, thanks!
