lightning fast Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 90 % of my best breading hens have tusks, and dont know many that havent bread a good one at some time
Merlin Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 On the other side of the coin,there are lots of good producing hens,that dont have tusks .!!
OLDYELLOW Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 believe the so called tusks are wattles from sides of lower beak which i refer to as manable wattles ( excuse spelling ) most of the older breeds had these old jansens and some Bushaerts
mac1 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 was at southern and masons lofts yesterday,i picked a smashing pair of soontjens out and the hen had tusks i mentioned it to him,think he thought i was maaaad ;D ;D
Novice Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 Some families have them and others don't. Whike I had a lovely Porter and Richardson pigeon with these which bred 3 several handy birds I also have better breeders which don't have tusks.
