AAAARGH! "Pet quality?" You mean what those of us who grew up around farms and ranches called "utility birds?"
I'd like to know which hatcheries are being helped by breeders. I'm afraid my total breeding expertise tends to improving production, and I never learned anything about breeding for show. Trap nests, looking for roosters whose mothers, mothers mothers, and fathers mothers had high production I know - but how to breed for the perfect comb or cuckoo coloring eludes me.
