Show Breeding question

[NYREDS]

Quote:
This is absolutely false-in general both parents are equally important. You may develop a line that produces better males or better females but that is a result of how the genes line up not because the males are better or the females are better.
If you start with a bird with a D/Q or a seriouse defect all you can be certain of producing is more birds with D/Qs or serious defects.
Even when you start with 2 good birds the outcome is never certain so why ask for problems by starting with a bad bird?

I think you should try to get birds or eggs from a good line and then work from there. It is important to have good birds but more important to have average birds from a good line then good birds from an unkown/bad/avg line.

Thanks every one. I am looking into finding a breeder to get some eggs from.
