harv 5 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 would he be worth breeding from tuzo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 To be honest its difficult to make an assessment from the pic, try and get him out and stood up straight. He would look a hundred times better with a bit of rain on his back. The feathers tend to curl up and go soft when they get too dry. If you can't get him out in a bit of weather then just dunk him in the rain barrel every week-it will make him look much better. What are you wanting to breed for ? The show pen or just to have a few around the place ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tuzo 251 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have seen a lot worse harv, everything can be improved upon with selection and culling. The sec of the Asian Hardfeather Club is also from the Isle of Man, have you contacted her at all about obtaining stock ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She seems to be more into her larger stuff and said the same as you about the selection and culling. Is it true that the best looking hens dont always produce the best chicks?

Tuzo 251 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yes thats often the case, not just with the hens too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
