Breeding / Re: DOES MOULTING AFFECT LIBIDO IN ROOSTERS?

« on: June 12, 2014, 08:47:05 AM »

Clif I was looking back on some notes from a mentor of mine he had told me not to try to breed a moulting rooster because i would not have good results and the man was Charlie Carr, he told me that less then 5% would not hatch. And Mr Curtis Blackwell of Jasper Al had done a study on this i have the data some where but can not find it. I have kept these notes for over 30 years.

Mike,    She is still breeding some, she has one brood yard that is really nice and she can set up another nice yard.  When I went up there in March, she got real excited about breeding again and she does know her wheatens.  She said she wanted to try to come to the nationals. 
   Clif, the feed that I am feeding is what we had discussed.   
 Linda,  thank you, we are trying our best to do well with these wheatens, only have one nice hen right now, it's been so hard to find this variety of chicken,    Cliff and Sharon has really helped me with my blues, but these wheatens, lord help us!         And thanks again Sharon for posting our pics.

Thanks Cliff, Mike and Tailfeathers for the compliments on the wheaten cockerel.   Cliff, instead of me shipping him to you just bring me some of those good wheaten pullets and blue wheaten pullets to the nationals, and then I can ship you some good eggs!  Because we know you do a great job hatching!!!!    Mike and Tailfeathers, I picked these up from Barbara Campbell this year.   The blue or ?splash wheaten has changed so many colors since I have had him, not real sure of what exactly he is. but I will keep him until he molts out and see what I have.  I have plenty of room for him.    Keep the comments coming, they are very helpful.  And  Thanks Mrs Sharon for your great help on getting my pics on the forum, you are so much appreciated. 
                                                                                       Jeff and Cheryl
