What breeding projects are you working on or you want to work on.

I've been kicking around the idea of a large combed hen that will do really great in our hellaciously hot summer - but lays a nice sized brown egg. Specifically, darkish brown egg.

So far the chickens that have proved themselves best are the Mediterranean breeds - catalanas, leghorns, mincoras. But they all lay white eggs. My rocks do all right in the heat, as well as my wellsummers, but they still suffer when it gets 100+ for weeks on end.

Hmmm... just a thought.

these are my sex-link chickens they lay white medium sized eggs and i have hatched babies that the males are a silvery color and the females are black in color. The male chicks also are born with 5 toes on their left foot and the females do not have 5 toes. Hopefully i can keep perfecting the breed.

I was working on a similar project: bantam blue silkies with bantam eggers. Ran out of time and money but may be able to do a little bit anyway. I'd love to see pix of what you have already! E-mail me.
