does not bother me when you ask question ,if you do nt ask how you are going to know.Thank you for this explanation.
Yes. Cockerel line looks to be producing nice cockerels as it should but not nice pullets then. Of course, that makes sense.
There are 15 I am growing out to select from.
Pullet line I need to wait a few more weeks to see exactly what is coming out but I do not see mossiness. I am only keeping pullets from the darkest eggs from this pen. And 1 who doesn't lay the darkest but has a beautiful shaped egg.
Please don't ever think I'm questioning your advice.
I am just one of those people that needs to know WHY about everything. It can be very annoying.
all my advice to you guys is based on photos you posted . so I really don t know your chooks as well as you ,
it is very hard to produce a well colored cockerels with a minimum autossomal red genes s .
you will see those mossy cockerels will turn up as goegeous as they can ,full body pattern with a well marked chest .( nice amount of coppery lacing )
in the future we will breed the mossiness out . for that you need to make sure to mark all the pullets without mossiness . from a pullets line .,so they are not from a same line as a cockerels .very important .
chooks man
