The measure of the humanity of a nation is NOT how it treats its animals; the measure of the humanity of a nation is first and foremost how it treats its HUMANS: the weakest, the hurting, and the strong. THAT is the measure of a peoples' humanity!

Naw, I think the pullet is ugly.  Waiting to see how well she lays.  I'm thinking of crossing the cockerel back to a white leghorn to see what I get.

 

jmc - do you have RIRs and Leghorns? 

My chickens used to be cheap entertainment. Then I bought an incubator . . .

its ok.. why do they look more Birchen than RIR? well you see ER(Birchen e allele) is dominant over eWh in most cases...

i wish there was something a little less chaotic and idiot friendly than that kippenjungle genetics stuff online. i would like to look more into chx genetics but there is nothing available.

 

unless maybe the huge book poultry breeding and genetics by rd crawford
