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!

[finchbreeder]

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

[Mickp]

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

[fincher]

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

[Mickp]

100% agreement from me on that

[finchbreeder]

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