Charlie, I enjoy your messages. You have a great way with words! Have you considered breeding for some of those traits you'd like to see in your release...
Charlie, You have a good perspective on this. I'm afraid many people misinterpret my messages, thinking that I'm saying my birds are the best is the world and...
Barry, :) ... I'm not sure if you're teasing me or if you have an explanation for the breeders in my loft? After all, they flew home. <grin> If you've been...
Hi Linda, This issue of foraging fits in with some of the conversations I've been having in the PerformanceBreeds group and other places. For me, I'm always...

Dick, I'm not sure which side of the fence you're on. In an earlier message you seemed to disagree with me when you described inbreeding with sibling pairs...
...and think about it from one more perspective... How many crossovers are necessary to achieve independent assortment on 3 Billion base pairs, even if you...
Dick, I'm not sure why you think we disagree with each other on the circumstance of fantail improvement. I believe you were right when you said, "It all...
Dick, You've written so much good stuff over the years. I went and looked at my Richard Cryberg Outlook Contact record and see I had written "brilliant". For...

Hi Murray, Most of my families are about tippler size. I have a couple of families that are smaller than tipplers. I'm looking forward to this spring. If I...
