That is a cool looking bird. I have done alot of research on the dark skin gene. I have also talked to a few people about it on here. I am going to introduce the dark skin gene into my Sumatras with the Showgirls. I have been told if you cross a bird with the dark skin gene with a bird with green or black legs 100% will be dark skin. If you cross the dark skin bird with a bird with yellow legs, all the pullets will have dark skin and the cockerels will vary between regular skin and middle ways dark skin. That was the case when I crossed the Showgirls with some Dark Cornish I had. One cockerel came out with a light purple skin and some dark organs. He kind of looks like an X ray. I had 2 pullets. Both came out with the dark skin. One naked neck one not. I am also trying for the buzzard look. I want the Cockerels and pullets to have the dark skin. That is what I am breeding for.

The prehistoric look is what I am striving for. When I get my naked neck Sumatras looking like I want, I am going to cross them with some Shamo or Malay that I plan to get next year and make a super tall Dino chicken. I want to create a chicken that looks like an Indiogigante like this one.

but Naked Neck and purple skin.

another example but with dark purple skin.

I am using all black birds for my project. I hope they come out with the upright stance of yours. My pullets still have not started laying yet. They are almost 11 months old. I have one bird, a Dark Cornish x Black Showgirl pullet that I will throw in the mix when she gets older. She came out naked neck and dark skinned.

Ya'll have way tooo much time on your hands.

I kinda agree with that...

My chicken projects are my time anymore. I have had some health issues the last year and a half and I have not been able to work. When I feel like it I start new projects to keep me from going crazy stuck at the house all the time.
