When we talk about a trio of Chickens we usally mean a cock and 2 hens. But is it always? I know that from a trio, you start 2 hen lines. The reverse is exactly the same thing though right? I mean if your very best bird is a hen, then she could be mated to two differn't males ( one at a time of Course) to start 2 male lines, and all the chicks get marked according to thier dad, instead of thier mom? If the female sets the type, I was thinking this might be a useful solution. Also, there are usally more males available than females. What do you think? is it the same thing either way? if not, why not? Thanks
