If you'll line-breed the select black pullets and stags from them it shouldn't take long and you'll have all of them coming black. You can go both ways, to the blue side and to the black.

Correct, black to black, in theory, should always produce black, BUT by chance mutation a blue could come out, IF you raise enough.

You are squeezing him to hard. He is losing consciousness. lol

Nah he's excellent in hand. And that was after I doctored his legs and weighed him so he had a bit to calm down. He's a leg kicker at first but once past that he doesn't offer to be aggressive very good bird.

I bred the pair that he sent me and penned all the stags for almost a year, then when I started moving a few to tie cords I noticed they were hacked before I could a cord on their leg, so I took them back to the pen area and tried face a few of them. I know butcher blood more than any that I own and they were not acting the way they should've been. I never got one to face or piss one off enough to show me something so I culled everything that involved Marsh Butcher.

What is hacked?

In the first few breeding black to black it's highly likely that he should get a few blues, them blues would go in my blue selection for breeding, but if he'll continue his select blacks to line breed it should be relatively easy. He can go both ways with them. Blue side and black side, then his blues can always throw a black to use in his breeding to the blacks.

wings carried up high near their back, hackle feathers pulled in tight against their neck, don't want to peck another rooster, boys with no balls, scared. Normally butchers mature early, I penned them early around 4 months and never noticed any of them acting any way but normal.

I remember talking to Mark and the first thing he had to say about them is , I can replace the hen. That right there let me know he knew exactly what he sent me.

I have never spoken to you, but it seems like you know your stuff... One, why send out such birds and two, why send them to someone that knows the difference?
