Game should be bred on overall performance and health....not so much color or pattern....overall type/station/bone structure .....even feather quality are immensely important in maintaining a strong and solid game family.

One of the little known facts about Mr. Williams greys is that he felt that it was important to breed back to the off or odd colored birds....it was what made the family unique in his opinion and he felt it was important to incorporate it back into the family....many people have bred toward...

Not exactly the same....the regulars do and will come a variety of patterns

This family of fowl has been bred straight since 1952....nothing else has ever been added. These fowl were handed to Mr. William by way of Sweater....to Kurby Johnson by way of Mr. William....they were very close friends and then gifted to me by way of Kurby. They are a wonderful family of...

IMO, there is no point breeding a bird if the color is off either. Its all what you think is acceptable. But heed my advice when I say if you don't have the color to begin with. Its not going to magically appear no matter how many years you breed. I select birds that are at least close...

I've been breeding buckeyes for a few years. A lot was said about the difficulty of breeding them to the standard not to mention advancing them to Champion Row. It was nearly impossible was what I was told. When I started breeding buckeyes the majority of the people representing the breed where...

She's only 16, she is very much a kid and has a lot to learn about everything. I'm just glad she shows the desire to.
