SUCCESS!!!! - Mega Orphan Project

Update: Project progress tracked at the bottom!!!

I'll be now starting project Mega Orphan where I try to breed a chicken that has no living relatives. This means I must release the chicken's parents AND grandparents.

I'll be using some of my own chickens' offspring for this project because I know some people don't like their chickens released, but I still need at least some genetic variety or else it'll be pretty hard to get a non-hideous chicken out of the ones currently in my coop πŸ˜” a good chunk are related to each other rip

If you have any chickens you don't mind being released after I've bred them for this project, I'll buy them for 60 eggs! 🫑

Chicken sacrifices roost

if you think one of these is too pretty to be sacrificed lmk i can do swaps as long as i haven't started breeding them yet!!!

I’m sure you’re looking for something more immediate, but I absolutely don’t mind putting some chickens on a nest for you to use the baby for this purpose!!

AWESOME!! Any guidelines? Color/gene range, even a specific pair, or just go wild with anything? Just wanted to check since their genes will be passed on further with the project

I feel like if this project results in a black or black/grey chicken... You'd HAVE to call them Batman smile emoji How many chickens do you feel like you'll need for this?

@Aurkan OMG TRUE surprise emoji

Also i'm not sure yet πŸ‘€ i'm hoping like 8 max but it might a little more since some of the sacrifices have offspring and i need to breed them until only the other sacrifices show up in the family tree :D I'll breed more pairs just in case so I don't end up realizing i need a whole separate set when i'm 2 gens in 😭

[chicken=5579] Would this chicken be useful? Their family tree doesn't look to be too gigantic...

It occurred to me that if you wanted a chicken with absolutely 0 living relatives of any sort you can probably fish up those floundering gen 1s from the pullet pool and then release them afterwards... but oh dear cry emoji
