That is good to hear, I will make contact with a few gentlemen I know that should be attending, and make arrangments witht them to deliver the birds to your son.

that is correct for most autosomal patter genes but Barring is a Sex Linked gene, if the father lacks one or 2 copies of it he will produce none barred hens(50% barred if he is Heterozygous for Barring)


I apreaciate your experience and dedication and can only wish to have breed as many birds as you have, my knowledge comes mostly from theory reading and some come from my limited experience at breeding...


thanks

I have a question for everyone-my little roo around 4 months old has become mean, he fluffs his feathers & sidles up to me & pecks me. Can a chicken be disciplined (& the best way) & taught to be nice?

 

[GotGame]

that is normal behavior for a young cockerel.

Who has good brown red OEGB (female line) in Iowa? Who has the best brown reds?

I am sure there are some in Iowa, I am not aware of any though. If you want a female line I suggest I look for some Randall Brown Birds, they are magnificent.

We are getting a nice break this morning at least although it will heat back up this afternoon. Nice slow showers and cloud cover is keeping the temps down for now.
