[NevadaRon]

LOL I was thinking the same thing! I'm sure we can work something out

 

[ijon1]

Are the breeds a secret?

 

[Brunty_Farms]

Nice....

 

[averytds]

Wow!

 

[Jared77]

Nice is right!

Now whats the rest of the hatch look like? Any signs of uniformity or trends now that you've gotten to F4?

 

[SteveH]

Very nice Katy . Wow , F4s already ? You , Jeff , and Al are so far ahead of me ; I don't have an F1 yet and if my bashful Ameraucana cockeral and roo don't get in gear soon it may be next year .

Hey Steve... I'm not much ahead.... These two are looking like pros compared to you and I! At least you know about genetics... so that makes me dead last. O-well... I figure it out... just like your Americana roo... he will figure it out. Life will find a way...

 

[Olive Hill]

Nah, Jeff, you're not dead last. I just don't talk much about my project on here because I'm too far behind.

You're way ahead of me. All I've managed so far is (half-backsideed) selection for size in one breed.

Katy, they're HUGE! I'd definitely be interested in weights on 'em through the weeks. Curious what your ultimate goals are size and growth-rate wise.


ETA: I love that BYC's filter changed the a-word in past tense to "backsided"
