Next year I'll be buying some Polish chicks for our Bantam mixed hen to raise since she goes broody every spring & summer. I know I'll end up with some cockerels so they'll be given away while I keep the pullets.
I want to keep a few Gold Laced pullets to breed with our Gold Laced cockerel(Seen in my profile picture).
How do I choose which ones to keep?
What do I look for in their pattern, feathers, shape, etc..?
Our cockerel is starting to look, aside from comb, like a well bred Polish cockerel now that more feathers have grown in but I'd like to choose good looking pullets to breed with him so that their chicks look better.
