Doc, how is that hatching facility coming? Seems like he's been at it forever.

Doc, pictures are worth a thousand words ;)

I don't know anyone myself, there are some around but not many. Unless you know one and just don't know the name, I doubt there is one is Missouri.

I do breed for quality, but for excelling and improving you must hatch quantities, to increase the odds. I hatched 80 white cubalayas last season. For my set up this isnt so bad, but as YHF said, dont hatch more than you can successfully raise. I kept two cockerels and four pullets. I got rid of...

Exactly this. If double mating is necessary to the improvement of birds towards the Standard description, then you are breeding the birds that will produce a bird closer to the standard. If you don't have to then single mate. It is an option, but sometimes for showing not the best (like BBRed...

I have my moments. But I will continue to breed to the standards, made by the breeders, whichever way I must, and if double mating is reliable for breeding closer to the standard I am willing to take the chance.

I am most definitely right in mind would have to personally disagree, and prefer to have it. I've seen the birds of mixed double matings, they are not eye appealing. The people "in power" are only in power because we vote them into position. They were and are current breeders of poultry. The...

Not always patterned birds either. I show black Old English Game Bantams and you'll get your better females from a male that has a bigger broader breast and less extravagant of a tail. Where you would use a standard fitting male to breed for nice cockerels. I don't have male line Blacks but I...

Although I'm all for the correct weights, I also think that the bird, if structured as the standards says, should have a solid feel to it. Of course you might be off by a pound or two, but if it is close enough and doesn't look oversized I think it should be ok. I'm not by any means against...

I need a bigger scale platform. The one I use is too small and the birds slip off.

My Cuba was chosen as Reserve Largefowl by Junior. My Old English as Reserve Bantam by Junior. Also had Res Jr AOSB, and Best and Res JR English.

No, even brought my camera so that I could but I was too busy. That was a very nice bird, that beat out the Leghorns. That was my dads last show as secretary I believe, and it turned out great. We are all physically exhausted, my knee is swollen from just doing so much( had surgery three weeks...

Cubalayas are on the upswing. I have two birds currently with the large genes. One is a BBRed decendant of Brush that weighed exactly 6lbs at full maturity. I just weighed a bird that came out BBRed( mom was white) he was weighed about two weeks ago, and is 2 years old his mature weight was...

Think of it more as blue dilutes the color once(one blue gene), and splash is diluted twice(carries two blue genes). Black diluted some to blue, then diluted more to splash.

Blacks genetically cannot carry blue. Splash is pure for the gene blue is a carrier and black is complete lack of the blue gene.

Nice!

Nice.

Walt how many baby's have you got total this year from the Ko's. Me and Emilee have hatched combined only about seven. All of my pullets are Blue Wheaten Splash's and my one cockerel is a Blue Wheaten. Emilee's are Wheaten and Blue Wheaten. ~Zach
