That Sweater looks nice Kung Fu whatever your buddy id doing is working!!

My hailstone hen is gone,her chicks are brown red cockerels and Wheaton pullets. No white dots on any of them,hoping that will come thru on next generation. Should I breed brother to sister?

 

[RingedTeal]

I would breed the best brother to one sister and the cock bird/their father to the best pullet and see which you like best. But that's just what I'd do.

 

[maranfarmer563]

Cool thanks I'll try those crosses

 

[centrarchid]

To go in desired direction favoring hen side I would do brother sibling matings with multiple combinations and shoot for numbers with incubator. You are going to get a lot of duds but will also get some of what you want. Breeding pullets to cock will pull you away from what the hen represented if he is something different.

 

[maranfarmer563]

Yes,the cock was different,I think that's why pullets were Wheaton,but didn't have the white hail stones

 

[centrarchid]

If you can, then get another hen or even a cock to breed your young birds back to. If the new bird is exceptional, then line breed back a couple generations. The resulting products will then be approaching 90% hail stone. It is those that your hand of selection can be tried upon.
