Harry has a point, our slogan "A different kinda of breed."
At a commercial, hobby or any other type of poultry breeder point of view, there's a point where we need to reconstruct our values towards them. Our slogan mean much, we are not promoting Frankenstein's chickens, we're actually learning from the past and current situations of poultry farmers through research of zoology. Zoology and Ornithology are important to understand behaviors that belong to the birds, we can then construct cages that will enable a healthier mental life for our birds. This is a brief view of our studies and our capability of changing our birds environment. It's very interesting of what can be accomplished. At a point in time, it makes us stand out. We are not just researchers we are different. Harry Wallas Kerry in 1903 wrote in his books that taught people who to raise gamebirds. He never intended anyone to put them through misery. After reading this, our slogan was clear. A different kinda of breed.
Photo of a mutated quail.
Mutations in quail can be caused by many possible variables, this is one seems to have a protein deficiency during development during incubation. It's important to make a self report on the breed and type of genetic mutation for future records. In this photo, the baby chick's right side of he skull is indented in, the eye is missing and the jaw is misaligned. The chances of this baby chick being older than 1 week are slim.
Red Shouldered Yokohama
This is one of our Red Shouldered Yokohama chicks. We are working on a new project of Yokohama's for 2014 and 2015. We have a few different strains from public and private breeders. My current goals are to map down the genetics and breed this heritage. The Yokohama is a rare breed of fowl and endangered, intact some bloodlines are extinct.

Sebastopol goose on her eggs, the ganders are anxious too see the babies when they hatch. The goose has a few more weeks until the embryos develop, these goslings will fit in with the flock. I love my job.
