This year so far I have bred 11 CFWs.

7 from a true pair, 2 from Normal split cocks and 2 from a pair of Normals.

Here is pic of one of the two cocks from the first round of the true pair.

I think there is potential and just hope I get at least 1 hen to match for a BBE show pair this show season.

Thanks Lee,

 

The first CFW round it was 2 cocks to 1 hen. the next are still to show properly but there is at least one cock who is just showing flanks. Other nest two cocks to one hen

 

Others have been 2 out of 2 normal cocks and 1 cock to 2 hens. Pieds were 2 cocks to 4 hens and a one cock to 2 hens.

 

A friend asked me the same question because he has bred a lot of cocks this year.

 

Cheers

Thanks Gary,

 

I have hopes for this as part of CFW BBE show team.

I wasn't too sure about the colouring though.

Fingers X'd

Lee,

Thanks for comments. The smaller beak is, I believe, a feature which has evolved with the showing side.

When I started with Zebies about 19 months ago I bought birds via a third party which had this feature. (normals mainly)

I paired CFW cock to a normal hen and produced CFW hens with the mother's type of beak.

Last September I bought 2 CFW cocks from Wane and Kerri Davis which also had the smaller beaks, paired these up with my home grown CFW hens, so feature is maybe set now.

 

 

Cheers
