Just some quick questions - did crossing in the Dutchies help with any infertility issues your Sebrights may have had? I love the birds but have avoided them because of this issue. It's nice to see some genetic diversity being worked into the breed. How difficult have you found it to get back to henny feathering on the cockerels? Has the lacing stayed clear? Any trouble with bishop throating from the cross-in? Did you introduce the lavender from Dutch roos, hens, or both? If both, did you notice any appreciable difference related to the gender of the Dutch parent? Sorry to trouble you, but I'm nuts for Dutchies, have a great lavender pair, and as I said, I have been interested in the Sebrights for years.
