Gorgeous!
There are some telescopic combs. I believe Guinevere, the mother is the better bird, so I am breeding back to her. BamBam is most likely related to Guinevere, they are good for F1/F2. We get the big comb about 15% in F1. So I have selected a nice son to carry on with. BamBam is good for crossbred stock. He has some big SOP faults that Guinevere does not have.You can breed unless they are full siblings... unless you are trying to avoid that route. I just bred a 4th generation of birds and used two related birds for the first time. The hen was the grandmother to the rooster, both with great genetics.
F1 CockbirdHow were the first generation or two with the DC/CX cross? I was planning on using my DC to cross with several other breeds that I have to see if any of them are particularly good for meat. I hadn't considered crossing with CX, but that would actually make a lot of sense!
