Working on a long tail mutt ... what do you think?

[Celtic Hill]

So i LOVE long tail breeds but i don't like their tail carriages, i like a really up right carriage like OEGBs, so i would like to work on a bird that is basically an OEGB that has a long tail (like Phoenix long) so if i were to cross a white Phoenix with my white oegb it would bring the tail up but would i loose the long tail gene?

You would have to work back and forth for a while probably but you should be able to do it. I have thought about crossing Phoenix and Seramas to get a longtail bird with a higher tail set but I've sold all my Seramas now so I guess i wont be doing it.

Check with Toni-Marie she probably has something like what you want, and it WILL NOT BE A MUTT.

Check with who?

Toni-Marie; one of the most well-known long-tailed breeders in America; that's who.

The birds you are describing already exist; at least in Asia and if in America then they are in Atlanta with Toni-Marie.

Yep She would probably have something like that. My Red Pyle Phoenix roos are from her and Boggy Bottom Bantams has several from her and is getting more soon.

No problem. Whatever Toni-Marie says you can take to the Bank.
