Hey, I'm wondering about all the long backs I've been getting. I've invested in some truly exceptional birds from Kate for breeders, and yet I've been getting a large percentage of long backs from their offspring. Here are just two examples.

I'm planning on selling these birds as pet quality for whatever small price I can get for them, because I don't want to breed them. I figure there is always going to be some percentage of undesirable characteristics presenting in offspring, but I'm just wondering -- how many of your birds come out with characteristics that would keep you from breeding them?

I like the 1st ones color. What about breeding to a small short back pullet? I have the same problem here too. Its normal I think.

Here is my 5 month old boy. Awkward looking yet oh so sweet!

Okay, well, I'd say that's about what I'm averaging, too. So I guess I'm doing alright, haha. So you don't even make a decision about them before 8 months or so?

Red Rooster, yeah, I like his coloring, too. His father is a cocoapop, and he looks like a cocoapop, too. I think he's what they call silver cocoapop.
