Building A Churkey(Turkey Imposter)

[MysteryChicken]

The Malays for the Project.

They have the perfect longness for it.

Why not just have Jersey Giants, which were bred after all as a replacement for turkeys, but couldn’t compete with them as they take so long to mature?

Hello, planning to create a new Duel Purpose breed, that will be Extra Meaty, lays Large to Jumbo Eggs, & looks like a Turkey.

This will most likely be a Side Project, but have to get the Naked Necks, & Cornish first.

Planning to use:

Cornish Games (For Meatiness, & Wideness)

Malay (For Large Size, heavy weight)

Naked Necks(For Naked Necks)


My mom is my inspiration for this, since she hates Turkey. So I thought, why not make a Chicken, that has the size, & meatiness of one, without the Taste?

It might be helpful for you to research the history of the Jersey Giant chicken. It was developed over about 20 years to fill the niche you seek to fill.

I have actually.

It's part of the inspiration, besides my mom's dislike of Turkey.

I hope you enjoy.

This project is most likely gonna be on hold for awhile before I begin.

Gonna have a long term high cull project starting next spring. One reason for this project to be on hold for now.
