Why breed only the females?

The old adage is 'Keep your male line pure.'

Sometimes you just have to trust the accumulated wisdom of the ages.

Saladin,

I've found several referrences to Craig's article and even a couple excerpts but haven't found the article. Do you have a link to it or can you send me a copy? Like I aready said I think I'm still a member of the organization but I never receive anything from them... I joined last summer I think. Would appreciate your help.

The problem is that that way you discard all the sexlinked genes from the other breed. Bantam genes are sexlinked for instance.
If your la fleche have 'm, you won't get rid of 'm.

I can remember back in the 70's at a Michigan Poultry show...one breeder of La Fleche had used Exhibition Black Minorcas to help increase the size, fertility, and laying ability.... I remember...they were big.

I think that would be an excellent choice.

Well, that is just frustrating... Where did the flock go? He is probably still raising them somewhere but finding him is a problem...

I don't know where any of his stock went.....He has passed away a little over a year a go.... I have no idea if any of his La Fleche still exist....(?) His name was Earl Jones....Poultry judge and breeder for many, many years.... He was my poultry mentor and good friend...he'll be missed.
