eastcoaster Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Do you think half brother to half sister is too close if not would ybs be better racers or breeders .Also g/daughter to g/father what would be the best for those ybs ie breeding or racing.I have followed a breeding pattern for 7/8 years mixing family's and weeding out those that don't conform but never went too close before so just interested in others thoughts .Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyleakin Lofts Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 The main thing with any breeding is to prove the pairing. Distance birds may take you a little longer depending on the family as to how far you can push them down the road and we also know the many perils they face whilst being proven, so it is much harder nowadays. The likes of Derek and Walter, as well as others, have the success, so I would definitely think that these pairings are feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluey Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 A big problem these days are the unpredictable returns. A Fed winner one week can be lost the week after, it does not give the fancier the chance to truly assess how good a pairings offspring are.

A Fed winner one week can be lost the week after, it does not give the fancier the chance to truly assess how good a pairings offspring are.Happening all too often these days and not only during racing, good birds are going missing around the loft. I have a couple of half brother/half sister pairings to try out this season, looking forward to seeing the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie24williams49 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Think you are line breeding to that cock if he is sire of the two children with different hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
