BC Cockerel over BLC hens.

 

[Chooks man]

BC Cockerel over BLC hens.

That is good . there is the original BC genes in there .
theoretically they will throw nice BC progeny .

another question . all your BLC and BC hens come from the same breeder?

Chooksman, In about 20 minutes I am going to get Jasper and bring him inside.

 

[marchick]

Chooksman, Not good he does have parasitic white. I did cut his spurs off.

 

[Chooks man]

Yes, They are all from the same breeder.

hope one of them is free from parasitic white .
you are working with some ones else faults . you did not add to it new blood with different traits .
now you have to be very strict in future selection . .only the best one will breed .
I think you have a healthy number of chicks from different combination . we will see witch one is free from troubles .
Only need one great pair of very nice trio to work with in the future .
