well remember you cant breed a double tufted bird to a double tufted bird , the tufted gene is a lethal gene and the chicks wont survive to hatch

yes i know there is a fatal geen that is related to tuffed birds amd some will die in the egg i am trying to get a dubel tuffed roo to go over a rumpless none tufted or singal tufted hens DR keath breeds tufed to tuffed and out of 18 eggs i got 8 to hatch the first time he breeds tufded to tufed becauce he is studying the fatal geen and how it afects hatch rate he says about 10/20% will die in the egg but he still average about 55/65% hatch so i hope to get some more good ones

Check the auction thread. I think it's only the first and third Saturday of each month. They have only had one so far. This Saturday will be the second swap at the old fight barn in Kellyville.

If you are talking about my Toppies, they came from "Sporting" bloodlines and were raised free range and "shown" all over Louisiana with excellent results!!! The bloodlines I have are decindents of Adams Bloodline whickh has Mohichan and Mugwunp bloodlines in them!!! I think they will stand the free range and do good on it!!! I do not free range mine as the little old ladies at the church next door probably would not see much humor in a rooster perched on their Caddys crowing!!!! LOL Live too close to a hiway too!!! Lynn

oh, the kellyville one did pretty good for the first time, and ya its the first and third saturday mike....if you had been there you would have sold out, there were a lot of people there, especially for the first swap but very few birds til around 9 or later...almost every bird that pulled in the first hour was sold upon arrival....

whats too close? I live probably 150 to 200 yards from a highway, but it is pretty well solid timber between me and the highway...if they can avoid dogs, critters, etc....surely they can avoid cars....I would take any toppies you have to spare greybear, Im not picky....at most i only want a dozen, and would happily take less...whatever you can spare
