Selecting Breeders

[blue bar]

Hi Guys with the breeding season now for you fellows what criteria do you use to select your breeders

[Roland]

Performance... Pedigrees thrown in the bottom draw till next season - to see what has bred what.

Best to best means worst to worst.

 

If one looks what has bred what in the loft, one will often see one or two birds that the best arrived from.

Best hen, to best cock often mean BOTH carry the traits you want... best not wasted on each other.

Line breeding is for blood, out cross for flying. …. Personally never mated close relatives.
