If it is proven and tested by you Anthony, well done and thanks for sharing.
I like the stock to be super strong and then I'm confident alot of the baby's will be as well but I still breed weak useless birds some times then if I get a super racer and I retire it at 4,5 yrs old it goes to stock ,a bird here at 4 or 5 is super tested n very very strong ,I normally get to retire top hens but not many cocks make it to that age it could be me because I prefer racing hens .
