Granny's gone and done it again

Here Leon's first cross hens are now laying. This can become a new breed that lays like the Bresse do and have a very meaty frame on them. That is what is needed for the small farmer producing small quantities of meat birds for local markets. The grow fast but don't suffer the loses of the cornish cross.

 
These are the type of new breed chickens we want to create like this guy did.

He used a Breese Roo on Cornish cross hens so no AI was needed. I have a few Cornish cross hens that I will try and do the same with. Getting them to lay in a box on the ground is not easy. They are really dumb meat chickens that just sit down and lay when they need to drop the egg. They lay good one day and not the next. They lay a lot of jumbo and double yolk eggs too. AI on the Breese hens has an advantage of better uniformity of the eggs to be hatched. We start this project this week after we process about 20 birds for the deep freeze. It's going to take a big strong man to hold that huge 22-25lb rooster. He is the last one we have to work with so I hope to get this started this week.
I AI my dogs
