So far I have only heard about dwarf mothers animals in relations to Aviagen strains, specifically the strains from Hubbard. I do not know if the Ross 308 has dwarf mothers, but it seems unlikely from the literature and management guides. The Hubbard JA757 definitely does have dwarf mothers. I have heard some people on this forum mention dwarf animals before and being afraid to get it in their flock. I don't remember exactly but I think this was related mostly to ranger like birds, which are all Hubbard Stock (except for the ones called Sasso).

I would say try the Ross if you want and see for yourself if your male offspring get dwarf daughters. Do you feel like you know enough on how to raise them to adulthood? If you want any advice you can always ask here, and there are a few threads that were all about that.

Hello!
I have read here and there about growing fast growing boilers, but I can't say I KNOW how to do it because I lack the experience. If you have any concrete information + experience about this, please share it with us. Besides Ross 308, I have read that Cobb 500 could also be a good choice. What information do you have about Cobb 500? Thanks!

My favorite is actually the so-called MONACO hybrid. But it is not easy to find outside of France. It has some special characteristics plus it lays quite a lot of eggs for a broiler. There is no information in English about this bird on google, but it...does exist!
