Fresh Serama Breeding Stock

Not knowing where to house them, I constructed an enclosure made of PVC for these little chickens to roam about and keep them in a cage at night. They appear to be happy & healthy without me worrying about chickens running out of control ;)

My New Shama

In exchange for a 9" Shama, I took home this shorter tailed one....

Sired by a 10" bird, non of it's offspring showed any long tail tendencies. I am keeping it for genetic reasons. Also to see how far it could go in competitions, being a captive bred specimen.

Molting aviary

Its towards end or quarter 3 ... and luckily like clockwork.... all Shamas are molting.
Thought I indulged a little bit and prepare a bigger cage for one of the birds....

Hope he does well in there.

Ohiki

New addition to the flock.... cheapest "long tail" I can find hehehe!
Can't get the Long-tailed Shama, just settle for long-tailed chicken ;)
Anyway, the theory of breeding genetics should be the same.... more venue for practice ;)

Update (23/9): was told by a friend that this is a Yokohama, and another friend that it's the Silver Phoenix. Am confused.... anyway I like it's long tail and pheasant like body shape whatever it is going to be ;)

Male Serama

Found a Serama cock for my lone hen at home.... now, where the hell am I going to house the all :D ......

Bengal Cat

Helping a friend's quest for the perfect Bengal cat.... we found for him a 1st generation (F1) cross of the local Leopard cat. Two female of breeding age.

I still cannot understand the process.... wishing him luck.





How nice if the breeding of the original Leopard Cat is allowed....

Red Jungle Fowl

A specimen of the Red Jungle Fowl hatched from eggs collected from the jungle....

Waiting game

Sent 20 Sebright Bantam's eggs to the hatchery to be incubated today. Will be happy with a 30% hatch rate. In fact will be happy with any rate above zero hahaha!

Now the waiting game begins....
