I haven't put any up in quite a while. Here's a couple of stags from last year, and my Futch Hatch broodcock. "my Hatch project" My Kelso Futch Cock

Quote: To make things easier, I cull birds hatched after June 1. Makes for easier comparisons in fall. It is my opinion the spring hatched birds are better than summer hatched. Difference is environmental, not genetic. What are the differences in spring vs. summer? Ive heard this somewhere...

Quote: I use numbered wingbands for the broodfowl. And toe punch the offspring. Make an index with the best description you have of each numbered brood bird. example: #274= pure green leg hatch from so & so. Pea comb, lemon hackle, hatched 3/2007, son of #110 & #225. And so on. Do the same...

Quote: I lived in NC for about a year. I only met one fella in Greensburg. Had some nice Black Roundhead, and Kelso, and some grey's. I may still have his # if that's not too far from ya.

I haven't seen gamefowl that don't do well free range. It helps to have a hen show the chicks the ropes though. Incubator hatched chicks can have good instinct, but still benefit from the hens education. Your request is pretty vague. Any preference in color, type, or size? I have a lot of hens...

Quote: Quite a group you've got there. Make sure you put some pics up when they're grown up, too. Thanks

Quote: Not sure exactly your question. I'd say your calling the color patterns correctly. Except for maybe the grey comment. I dont see any sign of grey in that photo. I would say those two hens most likely would throw similar offspring. I would guess bred to a BBR colored rooster the Wheaton...

Quote: I like them DUCKWING ASIL! Are there tails always that high? My Asil's tails are quite a bit lower.
