Making a new breed.

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.

How fast of growth rate/maturity do you want?

Fast, though I know growing to full size could take 2 years

Malays can be fast growing, my largest Goliath was exactly like that. Some will mature slower, or at the normal rate.

I'd only breed those who mature fast, & cull any slow growers.


What's your height, & weight goal?

I will do that. Height and weight goal? I am not sure.... As heavy and tall as possible, I guess....
