what is outcrossing?

Crossing to another breed for genetic diversity and then breeding back to the breed you want until it's pure again, I think.

Yes I am, I have been selling the ones that hatch out with lower points and no markings as chicks the rest I am growing out before I decide which ones fit into where I am trying to go with the colors and markings.

sure, do you have a preference on parents for the serama's or the nighshades? I am letting most of the ones I have grow out so I can see what the final colors are. but I have a couple that look like they won't have the barring I want on them so I would sell them as chicks.

I'm not selling the dark ones I have named that are in my coop2 however

at least not till they grow up and I get some chicks from them.
