its a trade secret, you wont find any info on them, except that they are colored broilers, and grow slower than the white ones, I´m sure they use the same blood as the other broilers but they have removed the dominant white gene and selected other colors(which is not hard at all) I mayself have a leaky white broiler from a broiler sire line(leaky meas a white bird with lots of black on the feather) this sire could be used with other large bird and produce birds that grow slower than white cornish but put a lot of weight like the white ones
