Also, Hi again from Beaver County... it's been awhile and I dont promise I'll do any better keeping up this time either. HOWEVER, I may be looking for some chicks come spring so I'm really going to try. @dheltzel are you still breeding the blue laying black sexlinks? I'm down to only one remaining (mf raccoons :rant). I did get a pair of offspring from my black australorp roo over your black sexlinks and they are beautiful! Should have the genetics for olive Eggers. I might like to breed Cheeky (the roo) over some new black sexlinks if I can get some new breeding pens set up next year.

I'm so sad that I lost my Delaware roo this Fall, he and my dark cornish made a beautiful and productive dual purpose offspring. The girls lay as good or better than any other breed I've had and the boys grow fast enough to get a nice small roaster (although not nearly as meatie as an actual meag bird). I saved two boys from last year's broody hatch... one looks like Del so he's likely a father/daughter offspring, the other is definitely Delaware over dark cornish. Do you think breeding him back to the dark Cornish would give a breastier bird since there is 2x the dark cornish genes in there?

Just the swaps. Does TSC do those year ‘round?

The swaps are only a summer thing. Usually from March or April, depending on the weather, through October.

Sorry, not doing the black sexlinks this year. I change out a few things each year and those didn't make the cut.

I get that, gotta make room for new projects ;) . What do you have going on this year? Would you mind sharing the breed make up of the black sexlinks? *just for curiosity, lol.. I have zero intention of trying to recreate it :idunno
