How long have you guys been rasing Malay for?

Just this year, so not long. Mine are only 16 weeks.

Does anyone know of breeders who produce heritage Malays for shows?

Like the originals from India? Or the ones bred for the US standard?

 

[MysteryChicken]

I agree with these points. My experiences with breeding both aseel and Liege is that when groups are highly inbred, one has to sort through several poor chicks to have one healthy and vigorous chick. Yes, you can keep inbreeding them and selecting for the healthiest individuals and that can help keep the lines “pure.” But I value vigor over a man-made notion of purity.

Exactly.

US show Standards. I don't own an SOP but I believe there is one in there for it

Okay.

I have the book of SOP.

I can't give an exact thickness, but I can get pictures tomorrow.

I can check when I have the chance.

Thanks
