Well, I always run 97.0F, so that method wouldn't work for me...
Well, you're just extraordinary, is all.

Quote: At Christmas, we'd always give our Jack Russel presents that were wrapped, just like he was a people. It was usually rawhide bones or squeaky toys. Of course he could tell right off if it was a squeaky toy, so he'd worry that package 'til he got to the toy, and wouldn't let up 'til he had stuffing all over the floor.

Do they have many birds to chose from? Could you possibly check the structure of the bird? Or do you know the seller well enough? The hen I had shipped to me last year doesn't have the best structure and isn't laying as many eggs as the others. Still trying this structure thing out and on the ones I've been keeping it does seem to be making a difference

The parents are 2nd generation foley line. I get what hatches, but told him I want blue no splash or black.

For those asking questions about criteria for selecting which birds to keep for breeding and which to cull, there is much more information than what I previously offered in the following page from ALBC.
It's about maintaining heritage fowl in the manner for which they were originally developed.

I like the rule of 10 section. To get one good bird, you have to produce 10. To get one great individual, you have to produce 100. To get one exceptional bird, you have to produce 1,000.
