no, we can be our own worst critic. He is beautiful and his shape mirrors the ideal. Awesome! You have and will have lovely chicks by him. I am proud for you!!
we get 45-50+ mph winds out here on the open plains several times a year. Makes my hoop coop lean a lot. Chickens were fine.
Most danger would be from flying debris. So check that nothing inside Will fly around and hit them. Same for near by stuff on the outside.
Sending special guardian...
awesome
Many many thanks to you for taking the time to write all this out.
This is so nice, selection truly is the key, and not being afraid to try.
So this is line breeding. Can I follow this plan with cattle? This is the reason why I'm following this thread, not just for the chicken...
so we don't have to worry about using stock with faults, it's all about balance and proper selection. The balance of breeding of birds with a known fault to a bird without it. Then selecting the proper bird and going to the next steps to keep what we gained.
I'm so glad that I followed red...
Ok, we can make progress on breeding out a sprig. How bad is it if I have two hens with split wings and 3 roos without spilt wings as my beginning base to start my flock with?
Or do I just need to bite the bullet and get more chicks in order to get some females that don't show the split wings?
