I'm only breeding Sumatra,shamo to produce black Satsumadoris.
I might add some Yokohama x with game I don't know that yet.
All will depends on what is better to improve body shape.
Thank you for sharing .
What kind of aseel were you using in the blend?

Page 99 of the 2010 APA Standard of Perfection: Large Cornish.....male and female. Tail: Short and closely folded, carried slightly below horizontal.

I'm sure that there are plenty around that have fan tails, but I'm glad I don't have any of them. The bantams are the same as the large in the tail description.

That Cornish I posted was 12 lbs.

The Cornish I saw probably were hatchery
Cornish then.
Or a bad copy of the real deal.
Good that you point that.
In the future before i buy chicks from any hatchery.
I'll ask if their chickens fulfill what the 2010 APA Standard of Perfection require.
Thank you.

That would be an oxymoron by definition. The purpose of a hatchery is to produce quantity, not quality. If they are as selective in their breeding stock as required to produce birds to fit the standard, they would cut their own throats.

The temptation was too great,and had to hatch more eggs !

I decided to go ahead and hatch more Asil eggs

Just candles and eggs look good, all are developing nice and healthy

Being the chicken addict that I am.

some LF araucana and black java made their way in the bator as well

Chances are they won't. Hatcheries only breed for egg production, so breeds like Cornish will definitely NOT meet the standard, many hardly come close.

Saw some hatchery cornish at my friends neighbors,
They looked barnvelder ish.

Yep. To me they look like Barnevelders or darkly colored hatchery Wyandottes.

I used one of Lenny's Asil cocks because his strain tends to have a longer tail.
