New breed projects?

[luvarabhorses]

Great topic! I had some nice mutts hatch this year! The great thing is they can all fall under the big EE umbrella so I can sell eggs while working on it.
I had a big plan, you can read it on my page, but I had some nice unplanned chicks. I like lots of muff and lots of beard, I like lots of feathers, substance, size, extra toes, little poofs on the head.
Does anyone know if this young rooster falls into a specific color description (birchen maybe?)

This is a surprise rooster that I sort of like. I think I'll cross him with my cornish rocks (Tyson hens) and add the ee with those results.

Some people on BYC liked these 2 hens, I want to go some avenues with them and the black hen (I hope) or breed her to him if he is a rooster. Think it would be need if the whole muff, beard and top knot appeared dark (Like an Owlbeard ?)

I have a few in mind, but alas I need to get the farm first.

I too have several ideas but right now am not somewhere where having chickens is possible.

Blue Javas, Blue-laced Red Cochins and/ or Orpintons, Mottled Giants, and Birchin Faverolles/Javas just to name a few.

And I would think you would lose more with the type than you would gain with production.

Show girls isnt really a new breed they are just silkies with the TN gene. My friend developed these 16 years ago and used to take them to the shows and sell them. He was 14 at the time and had no idea the breed would catch on or be this popular. He also has TN white face black spanish bantams, TN mille fluer duccles, and TN standard cochins.

No but I did this project with buff laced polish around the same time he did the silkies. everyone said they were ugly and looked like they had flowers on thier shoulders instead of heads and necks. They did not catch on so I sold them and TN does mean Turkey-Neck
