    Breeding out Black

    The project is a total of six crosses. Not counting F2 and F3 on some if needed. I'm worried about inbreeding and egg production. My goal is at least 180 eggs a year. The leghorn is in there for egging but I have to breed out the white shell. Thats what the marans, welsummers, jerseys and penes...

    Breeding out Black

    I want a new "strain", as I will call it..... of a large brown egg layer.

I had another project in...

    Breeding out Black

    I'm not well educated on the breed but thought the white birds were quite a bit smaller. I really prefer to keep the white out even though the black is more dominant. I hear white is h e double hockey sticks to get rid of and can be very recessive. Where is a genetics buff? I think 3 breedings...

    Breeding out Black

    I'm am thinking of using Jersey Giants for size for a project breed. All other breeds are e+/wild. If I add JG's for size I wonder how many breedings it will take to get out black plumage since it is dominant/E. I know I could add Columbian as a restrictor but would prefer to stick with as few...

I want to...

    English Mastiff vs French Mastiff

    I think the English Mastiff it is a more elegant breed. My wife and I had a BullMastiff and unfortunately had to find it a loving home when we had babies. I have an Argentine Mastiff (Dogo) out of champion bloodlines. They are a breed you should look into also. Not quite the size but twice the...
