Oh, I'm sorry NYREDS, I was laughing at Msbear not you, although yours has a rather cute twist to it also. We must have posted at just the same moment.

My thoughts exactly. Since these are bantams (I think) I was thinking about just giving them away but I know that even a wyandotte bantam can produce a good meaty carcass. To me when you cull something you remove it from your flock because it is defective or not what you are breeding for. We have culled many birds by eating them, feeding them to the dogs, or giving them away on craigslist. When it comes to the good breeds that we dont want our name attached to them for a trait (ex. a sumatra with white based feet) then we either kill them or take them to a trader, that way they wont get out and ruin a reputation when someone shows the cull and says "Oh I got it from so-and-so."

While I hate to disagree

I have to say advice of this sort always puzzles me. I have seen it suggested many times on this board that one might breed 2 substandard birds together & come up with quality offspring. Whenever I see that I can't help but remember the old saying "you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
The hen is better than the male but she's far from very good. She's lacking in type eg she lacks the "roundness" of a good wyandotte. She's particularly weak in the tail.
If you are seriously interested in Silver Laced Wyandottes you'd be much better off starting elsewhere.

Im not interested, they were just pets, i breed brahmas

Thankyou for all your answers,
I am choosing not to breed them but to Hand them over to a friend down the road, who just wants them because of their nice colour
I am against Culling (killing)
Id rather give them away to someone as pets, or sell them at the auction.
And Australia Has some Very Good Wyandottes, These are just some pet quality birds, who a friend of mines wife divorced him and he couldnt look after them, so i accepted them.
I didnt take offence to any of your replies,
I knew they werent perfect, i just wanted some blunt answers,
Thanks Again

Those are some pretty awesome brahmas-over here in the US, we only have the dark, light, buff-don't get me wrong, they're beautiful, but it's GREAT to see a brahma in a different colored suit

Good luck breeding them!

I never knew brahmas could have such nice leg feathering! He looks like a marshmallow
