First off, you caught me off guard. You have repeatedly told me, you have fed and watered chickens for longer then I have lived. To be honest if you are wanting a genetics lesson, I don't feel qualitfied. But I am sure there are those here who are well qualified to answer your question. But I do enjoy all the attention you and your friends bring with these posts. My photobucket always seems to be a 100 views or higher when I get this duelly deserved attention. lololol
I must be doing something right, cause there are plenty of mutts on this site, it just little ole me who you dare to post about. Like how I was ruining my entire flock of 90 plus purebred Orps by having one mixed breed bird on my property.
First, I never said that one mixed bird on your property was ruining your flock....I believe if I recall I said your breeding of other breeds willy nilly into some of your orps was likely to ruin the nice birds you got from other breeders.
It remains to be seen if you're doing anything right with your birds.
What to be seen I am not worried about. These birds look good to me, the ones I use in my purebred breeding program. Everyone has to cull. I do not have too many to cull for the numbers I have and keep. I have more culls in my purebred Ameraucana program then all of my Orps mixed or pure. The fun about what I have, is I do have some neat mixes. Birchen Black and Blue pullets, a Mottled hen and pullet, even got a Blue bantam pullet, who I will keep for the eventual day I get a Choc banty to breed up to LF. I am not the one with an issue about my birds.
