So the new project begins. I got a start with hens from my good friend Toni Marie Astin. She provided me with 3 nice cross hens of 1/2 cemani and 1/2 phoenix. I will be crossing these with my Black McRae stock for a while to get something different than the most common hard feather birds like the Thai that the Hmong culture has right now. I thought creating something closer to the Ayem Cemani Bird would be more exciting. Right now it’s a bit hot in the season to work on the project so i’ll be waiting for fall to put breeding pens together, however since this is such a short entry have provided a few shots of the hens. I’ll be getting a nice picture of the McRae stock soon i hope..slightly frisky bird and hard to get good shots..lol!
