Many people jump into it without realizing the size of the task. I see it most in the white birds. Everyone wants a pure white racer and if you cross a white bird to a colored racer, it can take forever (well maybe that is extreme) to get back to an all white bird. So,everyone crosses white to white and hopes to get a fast racer. THE GENES FOR RACING MUST BE IN THE GENE POOL. You must fish where the fish are. If your white gene pool is deficient in the good genes for racing, then you can cross white to white forever and never get a decent racer. Because you are depending on genetic mutation to improve your white birds. YOu would need to breed thousands of birds to expect one mutation and it could either be a good or bad mutation. So, take the hard road but the only road if you are serious. Outcross to colored birds, get some decent racers then look for your white progeny. Good luck.Outbackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15103042120895242040noreply@blogger.com
