My short term goal is to just maintain the quality I have and learn what the different pairings produce. My longer term goals are to improve my flocks and to sell chicks and eggs. I may eventually show, but that is not in the foreseeable future right now. I am in the process of transitioning from a flock of older backyard pets, ranging from hybrid layers to pet quality d'uccle and silkies, to more of a breeder setup of only AMs and BCM. The chickens have always been a fun hobby for me, but after getting some of Paul's birds, I am fascinated with the difference in well bred birds. I want to learn to be a real breeder myself, and I want to pare down to two breeds and really learn about them instead of raising and hatching just backyard birds
Edit: If you mean what is the immediate goal with my current flocks, I am purposely mating for more blues this year in hopes of darkening their color. I only have one that is really dark, so I am crossing the splash rooster with the blacks and a very dark blue, and the black rooster with lighter blues and a splash. I hope to get a good blue rooster to put into a third pen with some black and blue hens so that I can get some blue by blue splash offspring
