Chicken_man 1,651 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi, Here are some pics of some 5 wk old chicks. Note: The two young stags are exactly the same age/father, but one (the larger ) being from a 2 yr old hen, and the other a pullet. I have not weighed them, but I think I will just to see. They are no particular line, just my own. What do you think? Good or bad I would like to know Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullx100% 681 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Looking good them cm...the hen has thrown some good size birds...I have always been told that a hen has more influence in th off spring than the cock...others disagree ...I also mo a Asian lad who will never Breed off a pullet only hens as he says they produce a better offspring.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ukroosterman 548 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 If you wanna increase or decrease the size of the offspring alway do this from hens side Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you have a look at the weight difference ?....yes mate the 2year old hen is producing stags that are 1lb 4 ounce and pullets that that' are just over a lb and the chicks from the Pullet are only 12 ounce ..looks to me the older hen produces bigger stock..if bigger stronger fowl is what your after I'd keep this hen in your breeding plan.. Try putting the farther back to his young next year see what they produce...I'd Also put the same cock back to the pullet what has produced the smaller chicks again next year to see if she produces smaller stock again once shed becomes a hen......although like uk says hatch brothers and sisters cn come in all different shapes n sizes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
