We have a short video of Viggo and I opening an exciting package from George Clark of Arizona that arrived on Friday the 5th.
I received a call from the post office a 4 am in the morning. I was surprised that they called so early. I got to the post office around 6:30 am. The postal workers were excited to hear the chickens in the boxes.
I got them home safely.
Viggo started opening the box with the black breasted hen. This hen was hatched 3/2019 from a large 14lbs black breasted red malay rooster from Chris McGeorge from Florida. Chris is very active in the poultry world. Viggo touches the hen’s head gently and she tucks it down quickly. She is a beautiful large hen and we are thrilled to have her.
Next Viggo opens the box with the black breasted red rooster that was hatched 7/2019. The known bloodline of this rooster is he is the son of a malay from Anthony Williams from Arizona. Anthony breeds many large animals along with Malays. He bought his Malays from Jesus Lanos of Florida, who got his Malays from Ronnie Profit of Florida. Ronnie Profit had been raising some of the largest Malays in the USA. The rooster pokes his head out and he has a wonderful large walnut comb. My wife says he looks proud and she loves these birds too.
Cascadia Heritage Farm is pleased to be adding these bloodlines to our M.I.G.H.T project, (malay invigoration gene hybridization team). Cascadia Heritage Farm will be also looking outside of the USA to find other bloodlines to help invigorate the American Malay. We plan also to reintroduce foundation stock to the American Malay such as the Kulang, Kolongi and Hint to add vigor.
We are excited about our new birds and we at Cascadia Heritage Farm believe we can make a difference and that you can too.
Thank you George for supplying us with wonderful birds.
