Almost all of the hens have called it quits on laying and are in some progression of the molting process. It is now that I am going through the grow out pens and comparing last years breeders to this years grow outs in order to make selections on who will pair with who and who will be removed from the breeding program. This has resulted in posting of birds for sale. As in previous years, my first goal is to select for improvement in combs. The grow out pens are looking like I should be able to make some improvements in head size and shape as well, attempting to select agains the common elongated game-like head shape. I look forward to the birds laying again and seeing what comes out of the incubator.
