I have a barless blue cock and a barless brown hen both with long distance winning pedigrees. These I am most hopefull for. The strategy I hope to employ is to mate them both with my best peforming long distance stock and then if any of those young score at the long distance then to mate them back to the parents to bring back the recessive traits.Tom Domanskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747171651004224679noreply@blogger.com
