I wanted to ask a few questions about chicken lineage.
When you have first generation breeder stock on your farm from an outside supplier is this considered f1? Or, is that generations offspring f1?
How about the same question, but when you cross breed?
When considering the cock for your mating program, should you use him to sire multiple generations?
Do you breed a cock back to its offspring for back cross generation? Or do you need to introduce a new one?
Are there inbreed mutations to consider when breeding a cock back through multiple generations?
