Hey ya'll!
So I know that this is a very niche subject, but I have a line of silver ginger Phoenix that have the David Roger's line bred into them. I want to make sure I properly select for non-molting characteristics in these birds, so I'm looking for some advice from people who actually breed Phoenix or extreme feathered longtails (as some people call them) for non-molting traits.
I've done a lot of research into these birds, so I know the basics (regarding care and genetics) but I'd like to know more so which juvenile roosters should be tested for non molting (like is there cues as to which might have a greater chance of not molting?); as in traits that are often indicative of non molting without actually having to test each bird individually.
Any advice is appreciated!
