    LF Cornish - Crossing White/Dark to work towards White

    my guess would be Jubilee, As long as your white is dominate white, as a dark on this white should give you (theoretically) all jubilee (looks like a Dark with the black replaced by white). The when you breed the Jubilee back to itself you should get Darks, Whites and Jubilees.

    Just a little on our feeding program we also like to keep things simple, we feed a 20% chick starter for about 6-8 weeks, we then switch to a duck and goose grower pellet (I am a big fan of pelleted feed vs. crumble). the Duck and goose grower is 18% and contains a higher fat % than the starter...
