Ahhhh. Yes. I get it.
You are right.
Body type and egg color first.
I will keep this information though because while breeding what i have, i may just get the opportunity to do it.
you have the FFT trait in your line #1 and you has as well SFT in you line #2 . so the genes are not going any where ,we are going a make sure to keep all the good genes your have in you flock , we are going to do first is to breed a body type and dark eggs color , than we move on to the rest .body color ,nice comb ,no parasitic white etc.......................
by pairing Negan to line #2 pullets and pairing cockerels line #2 to line #1 pullets .we are preserving both FFT /SFT genes in the flock . when time is alright we can breed the pattern properly . for now we just preserving it . we make sure we don t loose the genes we like in the way .
chooks man.
