Last year, Funkie fathered 3 chicks, out of which only a female survived. It was disappointing because we had hoped that there will be male offsprings to give us some indications as to whether his sons will be birds worthy of the arena.
JL54 is now 7 weeks old. I had taken some efforts to get him ready for his new owner. He eats his dry food very well (broiler chicken feed). He is in perfect health and already well exposed to human crowds and street traffic. Since the intention is for him to be tested in the arena, I had also made sure that he is not hand-tamed (human imprinted).
He will be raised by a player henceforth and that will enable us to get the feedback that we want, for future breeding plans.
A really promising taimong - bright eyed and alert. He reminds me of his father and his uncles. It shows what can be achieved with a good breeding program, Ahem.
ReplyDeleteThanks David! We'll see if he turns out to be like his father.
ReplyDeleteVery healthy look youngster, as per david, very alert and brighted.

Smart looking bird already I'm this early stage, might be a stunner after a molt.
ReplyDeleteCyberboyz,
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Honestly, I won't know how it will turn out. We can just hope for the best.
For me, I think it is perfect in my view and I still learning as a early stage. Just hope all the best.

Hi Simon,
