    Future plans for 2025! Breeding for large meaties, barring, lacing and EE

    I'm definitely counting my chicks before the pullets even begin laying! This will hopefully be a long thread to help me keep track of all the specifics. I intend to hatch eggs from my very first flock of birds come spring time. Hopefully most will be laying by then but we shall see, if I intend...

    Barred Genetics

    genes that inhibit barring

    I was wondering if there are genes that inhibit barring. I have some hens that hatched with the spot on the head but when they are fully grown you can barley tell that they are barred.

    Question regarding BCM x CCL and CCL X BCM

    I was hoping one of you genetics folks could answer a question for me. My BCM x CCL cross produced 2 sexlinked pure black pullets and 2 barred cocks (10 weeks give or take now), if the cross had been the other way around, CCL X BCM would my pullets have been barred? A poster on another forum...
