I think the lavendar project is wonderful-- gorgeous boy you got there no matter where it came form- and good luck on the project
and as to the OP's original question- I have wondered the same thing- sort of- at what point are you a real breeder? I htink your project sounds interesting as well. I have a project I wanted to work on- but I lost the cockeral I had planned to use just this morning. I'll have to find another- but the pullet is still a baby.I have time. Too many projects and chickens, never enough time ( or money)
