Thanks,

Hello,
I am looking for some help on speckled genetics. Currently, I have about 30 male and 30 female speckled sussex. I have culled down to a lot of nice type and size birds. When it comes to genetics, do the off spring get the coloring from male and type from females? If so, am I better to cull out the males that have a lot of peppering on primaries? Also, I have a really nice young male that is much bigger than the rest but he has a spring in the comb. Do I cull him or keep him for breeding? Lots of questions!!!!! Don't want to cull too much but feed bills are getting really high!
Thanks for any info I can get. If you need pics, let me know.
Cheers,
Woodsy

I have a few of them Speckled Sussex, just started keeping them this year.
A good contact about this breed is Don Emke(519) 364-2149. I spoke to him last month and found him very knowledgeable. He is not computer literate...
I am told he has raised Speckled Sussex for many years. He has decided to make a limited quantity of fertile eggs available for sale. $24 a dozen. I have an order in for new bloodlines.
