Haven't had one of these in awhile. If I was guessing it's Betty's. She lays a dull sheen and has giving me one of these little feller's last year or so.

I'm going to cull Moonshines tall leggy cockerel chicks unless you think I should hold on to them.

I see a lot of bent legs already in them.

I think you should keep few of them grow up the see if there is at her good characteristic will show up . It s not about the cockerels it s about MS to see what sex linked genes she is passing down to her sons. If you cull all her sons at early stage you will never find out.

if I remember what you said long time ago about JR .he has a narrow body and X legs .
if tat is correct about him than he was very dominant breeder in the mating .he manage to pass down his fault to almost or all his sons not sure yet about his daughters .
correct me if I m wrong just trying to find out that all .
