It would be really handy to run on some birds until they are four years old (both hens and cock) before breeding from them because of other projects. But I don't want to lose the strain. Has anyone bred from birds of this age, are they viable etc etc? I've never tried to breed from birds over three years of age before. I've been told that the hens are good for it but that cocks go downhill really quickly. What say you?
