My mentor Don Shrider said it best, "Remember, culling and selection are much more important than exactly how the birds are mated."
I think this is an important quote to think about.

Well said, Chris. My purposes are similar to yours; I want a bird that I can have eggs & meat from. I want a bird that I can look at and like what I see. I want a bird that doesn't attack me whenever I go in the pen. I've found my bird: the Buckeye.
I also will breed my birds to their standard...

I agree.
