I've done a few crosses this past year. Some good some won't do again and am culling the brood stock. Funny how some the pures are good yet cross the two and no good. Some just don't mix well. For example I am not happy with the penny/wh crosses. Leiper/penny are good but too mean. Wh/kelso so far so good. Ruble/mug so far so good. Ruble/black not happy. Miner/leiper seems good so far. Miner/mug seem good so far but still young, penned one of em today.
Blacks are all looking pretty good, one I don't like the station. Just gotta watch cause some of them are pretty aggressive toward just about anything moving.

Awesome.... Do you think you'll take some of better crosses and make them brood stock for next year?

By the looks I'd say someone spent effort keeping them pure.

I dont know which are the same hens/roosters...

but the bottom two hens look a little short legged...
The straight comb stag looks pretty good.


How do they feel size and musclar wise? Were they raised free range?

Nice shubin!

New pens 4 of them 8x8. No pic of the sweater yet. But the last batch of pics there was two males and four females. Not free ranged. But he has some beautiful healthy birds. And they are solid even the hens I think are a little to stocky. The straight comb is huge already. Guy said he might be low sixes

The three u reposted shubin is one trio

Ok cool. I figured by the straight combs that those were related.
Nice... Low sixes is pretty big. I like them around that size.

Are you going to keep the trios related? Keep breeding them pure as is, or you gonna cross up what you have?
