These two girls did it!!! Chrissy the little blue frizzle pullet (couldn't find an appropriate "A" name) took Breed Champion and Dahlia the little black frizzle took Reserve Breed Champion in a strong class at the recent East London Poultry Society's SASPO Show!

I love this! So many anti-project people need to just wake up and think how their "perfect" birds and breeds were created!

For translation: If you can breed a Brahma from a Serama you are an excellent breeder.

After 6000 years we would all be breeding Red Jungle Fowl (and a few Sonnerat's Jungle Fowl) if there had not been creative breeders who played with the genes in chickens to create the wealth of shapes and colours we have today.

Our little "blue Chrysanthemum" is one of 5 babies that I managed to hatch from Ally and Frankie this past season (there are two promising Splash babies too!). Any "A" name suggestions please?

Very interesting how the Silkie standard is evolving in countries that are purportedly following the UK standards. Below left is a recent Australian Silkie that won Reserve Champion Bird in Show

"But good females pass on their genes to their sons."

Both parents pass on genes to their sons, in chickens.

They are equally important in male offspring, in terms of autosomal and sex-linked genes, because sons inherit all genes from both parents, unless the parents are heterozygous, in which case they inherit or not inherit a gene.

What should be stated instead?
>>> Good parent birds pass on their genes to their offspring.
