So a split wing is bad?

Split wings are not bad, just the USA judges dont know how to judge them as they are not adopted by APA yet and they are judging them like American fowl. Split wing is a good thing.

I've never heard of it, but it has an air of mystery and elegance about it....

On a serious level, I'm thinking maybe some sort of Arabian variant of the Asil?

 

[gallorojo]

Sonotal is a color term that means light red. Like Rampur means black, Ghan means dark red, etc. Now, people here in the states tend to use these terms to describe whole lines or strains, sometimes regardless of color. All the sonotal I've seen have been reza type, small asil, the type as standardized by the APA. They seem to be elegant, athletic birds. I tend to think of the Wahl ones when someone says " sonotal" .

I am excited! We are getting a trio of Large Fowl Shamo From old*cowboy next weekend!

Are 16% Laying Pellets ok or should i feed 18% Game Bird feed?

Nate

 

[old*cowboy]

I have always feed them a grain mix of some kind. They should do well on the laying pellets. Just might take them a day or to to get to likin them.

if they are not laying , molting or growing is ok to feed them with something not so high in proteins.
