Standard bred Sumatras

[ramirezframing]

Coming 2 year old hen.



Do you think it would be okay to breed this cockerel to this hen to get a more wild type Sumatra? This one is only 6 months old. If this post does not abide by the rules, feel free to delete, no offense will be garnered.

In doing so would you still be going by most of the sop for a sumatra? I agree that the offspring should be a slimmer build than the hen, but I also think the tails would be lower like your cubalayas. What would you like to see in their offspring?

Thank you I tend to do 7-10 APA shows a year and too many 4-H shows to count. And some ARBA shows. I tend to only show 10-15 at most at a show but I like to show only 1-2 of each of my breeds. So this past weekend was 2Lf Sumatras, 2 BT Sumatras, 1 Muscovy, 2 Rouens, 1 faverolles bantam, 1 D'Anver, 1 Sebright, 1 old English and 2 leghorns. I am going out to Knoxville for the Sumatra, Faverolles and APA National and I am planinning on showing 20-30 birds

No most will be Sumatras or faverolles but I am planning on bringing out a couple Muscovies, 2 Rouens and possibly 1-2 Danvers and or sebrights or old English
