Thank you! I will do very select breeding this year because I probably won't be able to hatch many. With everything going on here. Plus waiting for the Pullets to get old enough. So I definitely need Chooksmans vast knowledge.

good idea . don t need to breed your chooks every year .
good to hear you are letting your pullets to get more mature to breed from them .most backyard people and novice breeders breed they pullets before a year old . creating more problems .

if you want to hatch only few chicks to keep your self occupied ,than breed best young cockerel to his Dam .

Thank you Chooksman! White dragon's Dam is Pearl a Blcm. She has white foot feather I believe.

I still have a roo that is full brother of the (rip) hen that laid the egg in my avatar. if he lives through the winter should I breed him even if he has parasitic white and halo?

a friend of mine wanted to sell her marans so I booked them. they are supposed to be free of parasitic white and they lay about #5. the only problem is she lives in north greece and at the moment it is impossible for them to travel.

Breeding Pearl to her son White dragon s is very good . I know she has a white on her feet feathers but she has a truck load of marans qualities we are trying to breed true for good .like the gorgeous body type .copper quality and tail she is passing on to her progeny .
we need to build her family first before we lose her than we will work on the breeding out the white .we can not do every thing in on breeding season .we need many years to build a good family line .

Pearl X White Dragon = few chicks next breeding season will be great .
