Righto Berkley A shortcut is to buy adult stock at the same time as hatching eggs.. that is a one generation advantage....

Randy,

I see what you are saying now. If I can get ANY kind of consistency within five years, I would be TICKLED!!

I guess the APA has to have some set time period. For those that grow out hundreds, they would surely have the advantage here. As for me, I'll just plug along..

Hey Debbi.....I had another sport thrown off my marans line!!! Wanna see???

 

[Debbi]

YES! Show off your sport geebs!!

 

[geebs]

Well here ya are... (whether ya wanted it or not).... LOL!!! and Nope I don't keep Welsummers...Only BCM

I had birchen last spring... Now this and before...I had partridge.. Geez.... what a genetic nightmare!!! No wheaton though... LOL
Anyone for Golden Salmon???? I will try to produce another for sure...I know which are producing it...

 

[Debbi]

Is it a Wellie or a Golden Salmon??

I'm sure not up on any of the other colors, as all I have so far are the BCMs!

 

[geebs]

Debbi... I don't keep Wellies...It is Golden Salmon... I think this is the genetic equivilent of JACKPOT!!! I sent Pink a private on this...She is going to likely throw something this far and hit me in the head!!! LOL

Ya and that is what I thought... ha ha.. (all I have is BCM!!!)

Looks like you've got a Forrest Gump pair of chickens..."Ya never know what you're gonna get"

 

[geebs]

These are test matings...Not my forward line... which is pretty consistent... I am not always quick to "off" the different phenotypes...

Nice Forrest Gump and Chocolate reference... ya do never know what is in that box of chocolates...huh?

 

[Debbi]

Did you get the Birchen from the same pairing??
