Excuse me if this the wrong Forum.
Hello, those who raise Malays, I'm new to it. I'm interested in helping preserve this stunning Giant Bird.
I understand that their genetic diversity is quite slim, & there's risk of abit of harmful genetics that maybe present.
I would like to hear from you others out there working on helping the population expand here in the US, & your experiences.
Have you needed to do any crossing, & back crossing to generate better genetic diversity in your flocks?
How did the crossing go if you had to do it?
If you didn't need to cross, where did you get new bloodlines?
I know some people might cringe at the thought of having to mix something else to an Old World Breed, but you gotta do, what you gotta do to keep genes strong.
