White Cornish: Building a Quality, Sustainable Flock for Meat and More.....

[JRNash]

I have one hen out of probably 30 that is built like a Russian female gymnast.
I'm thinking once I have all the birds situated I will pair them up and see what I can come up with.

I believe the f1 cross wasa dark cornish over a welp slow grow Cx

 

[JRNash]

That would make him f3?

 

[JRNash]

One of the things on the to do list is start using leg bands and a notebook!! DC x WsCx then put a Saipan over a DC pullet then DC xDC. Yea,that makes him an f3 correct?

So the f1 was Dark Cornish x Welp SG CX, then you added Saipan DC cross (1/2 Saipan, 1/2 DC) for an f2 resulting in 1/2 DC, 1/4 Welp SG CX, 1/4 Saipan and then crossed again to DC for f3 3/4 DC, 1/8 Welp SG CX, 1/8 Sapian... am I understanding right?

 

[JRNash]

You understand WAY BETTER THAN I DO.

It does hurt my head too... but for some reason I like torturing myself with this stuff... Very slowly I am starting to learn it.

I have no idea how to read this image but it is all about Chicken genetics. Hurts the head...
