Wow, that's the best answer I could hope for, being I had plans to keep the brown mottled anyways!
I think I am beginning to fall down the leghorn color collection rabbit hole... :D :D
Thanks, I'm glad to know its not a 10 year plan! Its starting to seem like an obtainable goal. The only problem I see is Luck, I don't seem to have much of that :P
The next issue I'm facing is my Isabellas are also mottled and I would like to keep that going as well. Of the 25% lavs produced...
Sounds like a good plan, simple enough. I will be breeding by it for sure!
How many gens should one expect before you start getting past fray and wingpatch issues? Does that depend on the quality of the original stock?
What breeding approach would result in the least amount of cringing? Lol
I'm beginning my trip down this road and would really appreciate your opinion.
Man, that's some goals! I would love to have a brooder shed that big! Right now I only have a 3x6 and a 5x8 under one shed. Have a couple more to add before spring.
