Well howdy, good call signing up as the amount of knowledge here is awesome! What sort of shooting do you enjoy? Lol the more calibers the merrier!

 

[Clearwater Chicken]

I am on a trap shooting team and enjoy hunting. As well as just target shooting. At the last trapshoot we were the last team and the only ones to get hailed and rained on.🌧

Hi, it's nice to have you here! Best of luck with the breeding project.

Yeah thats going to be in the future because there are a few breeds i want in it that are rather expensive. also if you cross multiple autosexing breeds together will there offspring be autosexing?

This is the best forum to get your questions on breeding answered:

My best guess is that some of the offspring may be auto sexing and some won't. But that's just me guessing, the experts will have a better answer for you.
