They have really nice type but all have barred tails and am down to keeping only six. Don't think I will be breeding any of them back to Dad, just the original Moms to a son or two and then see where I am for 2016. Leslie and I may do some swapping............
We are starting to put the dorm room on the cockerel coop today so we can keep growing out all the males we hatched this year. Meanwhile in the breeding coop where all the females are living with the one original F4 male, the dust bath seems to be helping answer some of the questions we have about color.
After the younger birds have a bit more time to mature and the F4s finish molting I'm hoping you can come take a look at what we've got here and then we can pick the best of both our flocks to breed to the best for "better" results next season.
I think we can make some progress. Maybe not patiently, but steadily.
Good idea troops
Were the tails on any F4s good ? I only had five F4 hens but tails were good on two.
