Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

[ki4got]

Does anyone have an opinion on PULLET breeder roos? What makes a good one? I asked about the two roos I got back yesterday. Poor lady hatched 4 and ALL were roo. These 2 were different.... I was not sure they were roos because they had so much lacing on the wings. They are very different than my other roos too.

Does anyone have a roo line and a pullet line?????

if not in the Wyandottes, you might ask if any cochin breeders are double breeding... I know there's been some discussion in the past.

 Could you please explain what a roo line and a pullet line are for us Novice people ?   

It's when a breeder keeps 2 separate lines of the same breed and variety, one line geared toward producing pullets with the traits that the breeder would like, and the other producing superior cockerels.

When I got my Foley birds he was setting up a Pullet line and Cockerel line for his SLW..... I don't know if that is something you can do in the BLRW.... I don't know what to look for to do it anyway. They do that with SPW too.... darker for roos and lighter for pullets or the other way around. IDK.... I just have one line for them right now...


I am going to TRY these new roos and see if lacing improves on the pullets.

they are not a dark mahogany color. But from my understanding it's hard to get that on splash? I plan need on if I bred the one, breed to a nice black laced. Her lacing is pretty nice. And type.

See how much darker the splash is in this picture?

 

[Countrypunk92]

I see, but you wouldn't use the splash I posted? ( and I do not own them) even though the color isn't super dark? But still not a buff.

You don't think she has good type?

from the photos posted, sorry, no I don't think she does... her color's not great either, IMO. now if you had a great roo to go with her, he might fix some of the faults, but you might gain others.
