Sounds as though we both have a long way to go. I know that it will take quite a while to accomplish my goals . As a friend one time told me" It just ain't no hill for a high stepper" and with the help I received tonight I am planning on stepping High. I hope that you do too.
Thanks
By Jove I think I got it. Male Dom on female BL and the F1 females back to great Dominiuque males. I get birds that look like Dominiques and hopefully will lay more and bigger brown eggs. Yeah. Thank to all for all the advice. I will try this in the spring. If I STILL don't have it right maybe...
