I purchased some hens a few weeks ago. I need a rooster, but I am still learning. The hens are not SQ. They have some faults. They are moulting now, so I don't know the extent of it. Their primary feathers are not as clean as I would like. Some bleeding of the white into the black. Their overall color is good. What bothers me the most is their tails. They do not have the nice inverted U. I am crossing my fingers it's a moulting issue, but really I don't believe it is. They look like V's instead of U's. My question is, how difficult is this to breed out?
I read somewhere color comes from the roo and structure from the hen. So it would be hard to correct this trait with these hens correct?
