look at this picture of a male Jermey used for breeding and many of you got eggs from him. My question look at his tail it is very good did any of you get males with'
tails like this from the eggs you got.??? If so could you take a picture of them for us to look at? This is the tail you want to try to fix onto this line
If you get a male like this you may take two of his daughters that have great type and lenth of body and mate back to this male. Then the next year take again the two best females with the best tails and mate back to the old male again. Once you end up seeing many of your males with this style of fully furnished tail exchange some eggs with each other and then cross in to your line.
If two or three of you do this I think in three to five years you will all have good lenth of bodyand good tails on your males. The reason I am telling you this is Barred Rock males dont have very good tails and that is why most of the time the females win at the shows. Just something to think about. Jermey do you have many males out of this male? Do they have a tail like this male?
Look forward to your relplys. bob
