Hi all!
Long time lurker but a first time poster. I have hatched my second batch of Cream legbars and initially thought that maybe my Butf Orpington roo had got in with my CL hens because I had several males that did not look like the CLs I’ve saw. Second hatch, and I have the same issue which is more so just the poor genetics from hatchery’s. My question is, what traits should I look for on baby chicks to continue to breed a better blood line? I have some males that are all yellow, some that have the large white dots and some that look like a pale brown CL pullet. I e attached a picture. I believe I have 2 pullets and 6 cockerels. Which would be a good male to keep from this hatch? Any other guidance or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
