Plymouth Rock thread!

Yes... DQ in ALL breeds.

I was pretty sure, but didn't want to over step

I've never had a single bird with this issue. Even my production type girls are good. Though Marge did have a weird overlap going on until she was 6 months old. It sorted itself out.

I am also seeing it in some of my Lavender ameraucanas. I think I know where that is coming from and he is going to get the ax. The GNH I hatched from someone else so I can't fix it in future gens. I have kept the pullets and I will work with them with my Reg NH and try to get some lacing in them. It is going to be a uphill battle.

What is GNH? NH is New Hampshire, right? Sorry, I've just never seen the acronym before

I hear it's very prominent in silkies, and it's always a huge discussion on the breeding thread.

I hope you can breed it out. I'd be interested to see how long it takes for it to be bred out. DO you see a difference the way the wing is laid when they have split wing, or just when you fan them out?

German NH. I can see it in the wing without the wings being spread.

Wow, you can see it for sure!

That's dissapointing, isn't it... :/

So you have a roo that is fine and you will breed to your hens that have it? Can you let us know what % of their offspring have it?

Quote: I don't have a GNH roo... they were all way too bad and had to go. I have 4 reg NH roos growing out now so we will see. I didn't breed my reg NH to any standards, they were just for eggs, so we will see. I have some GNH chicks growing out so maybe I will get better results. If I can remember I will. I would think it would be a HIGH percent though. I will have to CULL very hard.

Pictures of my 10 week old WPR. She does not seem to have as much tail as my others. Is that normal?

At 10 weeks, yes. She's getting her big girl feathers and her baby feathers have fallen out
