How do the differant lines compare? For example are the hatchery stock birds far from the desired compared to others? I know there arent that many around so are the hatchery birds worth starting with? or do you end up with alot of polish crosses to weed through? (I hear Ideal is bad for passing...
Nice! I hope to get a nice group of them, pick out the best and eat the rest. My goal is not to show (although that is fun) but to maintain a breed more like they would have been raised in the original villages. Time to research crevecoeur.
