horseman x racer

[lordcornwallis]

hi i want to start keeping horseman , can you cross a horseman cock with a racer hen as its hard to get horseman hens thanks lc

[Glassfeather]

Hi lc,

 

No harm in this cross, a lot of the guys who fly them make this cross. The youngsters will vary on a spectrum from racer type through to Horseman type but lacking crop compared to the sire. If you then back-cross, one of the daughters to the sire or another Horseman cock again, you will get a variety of types but some of them will resemble the Horseman more than others. Hope this helps.

;)Wow Glassfeather , they really look good , if i didnt have racers would definetly look at getting a few of those . Are they easy to rear etc ?

[Glassfeather]

Hi,

 

Yeah, not so robust as racers, but generally good breeders.

[mac1]

r they good flyers.and are they exspensive to buy

[Glassfeather]

Yes, they are excellent fliers, lots of style, gliding around. Cost, not really very expensive, depends on the quality, obviously, but you can probably get hold of a pair for about £25.
