Yes, its a trait I want to instill on that line. By the time all is said and done I want them killing and eating things larger than they can fit in down their throats whole. I want them picking carcasses like a bird of prey.Apologies because I know nothing about mareks, but given Indo and Azog both have carnivorous traits, do you intend to breed that forward? It sounds interesting, and they seem capable of protection, but Indo potentially killing and eating younger males sounds worrying. do you intend to keep and breed forward birds with that trait?
But heck, I got to get them hardy enough to otherwise do it. If I lose Azog to sickness of whatever type, I’ve lost nearly a year’s worth of work and will only have Indo and his sister as F1 crosses to show for the Liege genetics. I’ve lost dozens and dozens or Liege cross chicks and sub-adults to make 2 that passed the test of time.
Azog will be the closest to being what I had in mind when I envisioned making a dino chicken. If he’s naturally selected out of the project due to disease (likely from his inbred genetics from both sides of his gene pool), I’ll have to start over with just Indo and his sister. I might as well start planning for that contingency.
