Well hello hello! For those of you who have been following my projects for a while know that I originally had a plan to make a sort of breed called the Vadakorian landrace. They were built for survival and efficiency on little human intervention. They were meant to sleep in trees and forage most of their food.

Well I decided it split my birds into two groups! One of these who are what I call Crocus-Fowl because the crest of my main breeding rooster looks like pieces of saffron. This thread is dedicated to the future generations of my beloved Crocus-Fowl project! I'm currently raising my F2 crosses. These are a mix of chicks bred by backcrossing my favorite F1 rooster to his mother and his aunt.

In this thread I'll show you the breed standard for hens and roosters, the egg color, and my hopes to start a breeding flock in the states and get a few other people interested in the breed so I can get it recognized! (I live in Europe Incase you're wondering)

All the bla bla bla out the way, heres my Crocus-Fowl Landrace!!!

I'm trying to get them to breed pure for dark pink high bloom eggs with nice speckling! I think these eggs are just gorgeous!
