Quote: I bought a batch of uncommon chicks from a well known breeder. I just moved them yesterday to a new pen. I had spotted several side sprigs in the group, but was able to look closely when moving them. Out of the ten, there were three cockerels and one pullet (very tiny sprig) that had side sprigs. The boys were huge and on a couple, both sides. Actually kind of cool looking, but a total DQ. The four will all go to the freezer grow out pen and now I will have to be diligent in that breed. If it's too bad in the next generation, I may have to attempt to start over, but they are hard to find....
I did find another source, so I'm going to get a second line going.
