I am new to breeding heritage show birds. We have a dad who is a show stock Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock. We mated him with a hatchery plymouth barred rock hen. We have 4 pullets and 1 cockerel from this union.
What is the best way to continue breeding to have smart chickens with no genetic diseases and keep the Heritage lineage?
Do I need to get another Heritage cockerel from another farm to mate with the pullets?
