cheers from Brayden

Have read about it Brayden,But never heard that interview.Was a very interesting interview.Thanks for sharing it.

The subject has been raised before, but because we have not all recorded and reported our results and gotten a concensus. It is good to keep raising it so people are aware of the possibility/propability.

A possible explaination why there is always an excess of males around the pet shops!

Am going to get me some orange headed hens for these orange headed cocks and test the theory.

i do believe it work wit the same head colour got 1 pr of yellow x yellow head and have noticed more hens than cocks and then a other pairing of black X yellow and have produced more cocks than hens so this theory seems to be true

a couple of years of selective breeding would push the price of hens through the roof

yeh it would but stuff that we should be tryna produce as many hens as possible i think

100% agreement from me on that

Breed hens you guys.
I'm short of them.
