I have a 10 wk old silkie frizzle cockerel I was planning to keep for at least a year to start my BBS breeding stock. He is black split to chocolate and I'd be breeding him to unrelated BBS pullets.
A few traits I'm questioning:
Hard feathers in the wings
Low wing carriage
Comb shape
Overall face shape
Any others that I'm missing?
Is he a decent start to a breeding program or should I find a different cockerel to get started? I plan to only have one BBS pen so I don't want to introduce traits I'll regret later.
