When is it safe to cull chicks for vulture hock? One line of chicks I am brooding have a heavy LP influence and Brenda Little discloses this as a recessive gene that has cropped up in her line. The breeder says he assumes this is why the vulture hock has showed up in my chicks. So far there are 3 that look like they may be developing the trait.. one more so than the others. The breeder recommends I grow them out a little longer to make sure but to me the vulture hock is obvious and I dont want to waste any more feed on undesirable birds.
At what age do u all cull chicks with vulture hock if it is encountered?
