I think Rob Garren’s Purple Poultry Project is very interesting and i have been following it closely i think for over a year now. He has some very pretty birds but the project is still in its infancy but im glad he made a group where he specifically posts.

He is basically selecting birds who have lots of iridescence and selecting for purple iridescence specifically. If I remember correctly he wants to produce birds who are large meaty and are productive egg layers.

His founding birds were Ayam Cemani, Sumatra, and a land race chicken breed Ponape but has since added other breeds like the Shamo
