I may not be hatching from these guys this year, since I've got Long in the coop with them, & he's been breeding the hens. I've got black Malays that I wanna breed to these, that also carry this trait, so will do so next year. #1.#2.

I have a technique that works alot of the time. Like all though, there's a small margin of error. Long - short feather growth patterns don't work for Heritage type chickens unless bred for that trait.

That's not needed, since they're now adults.

Assuming you got the wrong thread maybe?

These are the offspring of Dino, & Smarty Pants, 1 pullet is from Smarty's daughter. I no longer have Dino, but have his sons, along with his daughters.

Will try this another time. Will be trying a test run with some experimental meaties, of EE/Brahma X Malay this year. But will keep this in mind.

Didn't know tenderness can be selected for. Not exactly sure how you'd know without having to eat each offspring to find out?

Maybe. Will find out though.

Will update if there's anyone changing color, or when I begin Breeding/hatching.

You're welcome. Yep, on the right track for flavor. Next is to see how introducing Gamefowl into the genepool changes the flavor, if at all.

@U_Stormcrow, will be jealous🤭.

Meat was tender. I hung the bird for 24hrs like a Pheasant.

The Breast Meat was like Turkey, wing meat was sweet. My sister ate the legs. She says it tasted like a Silkie chicken, which tastes both Gamey, & Sweet.

Roasted.

Gonna try that Chameleon hen tonight for dinner. Wonder if it will be an improvement in taste from reusing the original birds from my original project, since these are free ranged more often.

Still waiting on the ladies to show any white.

Thinking these birds would make good feathers for those who fly tie, do feather art, or use as wall decor. Gotta produce more first.

Here's the boys.Interesting interaction between this Chameleon trait, & barring in some areas.

That'd be weird if it really happened like that.

Got the two Chameleon Roosters out waiting in a pen for pictures. They're definitely more wild then their father, which is something I don't like much, but it's good for a Free Ranging Landrace Breed. My lighter colored, & bigger boy screamed his head off when I finally got ahold of him.
