Happy Easter to all, I have a question that I must ask and there is no better place then here.
I have had Biels for a few years now and RR in a second coop. The egg production from my biels have been very disappointing since birth so before I chose to get rid of them I figured I would try something.
I mated Biel rooster with RR hens and as planned I have very fertile eggs. I did a test hatch and I had 16 out of 18 eggs hatch. Anyhow time to get to the point. Has anyone else done the same and if so what was your results?? sexlink for the 1st generation, egg production, size, looks ???
I'm certain I am not the first to do this but 1 interesting thing I have noticed by week 4 is they are of large size and it does appear they are sex linked (at least for this 1st generation.)
Thank you
