Aspen 2 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 Is your hen a LB as well? And what does the extra large tear on her mean? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Hall 193 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 Hi, yes she is a light-back hen, the tear mark is just prominent on some birds does not really mean anything, most light-backs carry good dark markings but some hens unfortunately can have a breast bars.

amf1975 132 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 to breed light-back's do you put light-back X light-back ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Hall 193 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 Hi, the hen above came from a Normal cock and a fawn hen, the Normal cock was split for lt back and cfw, I prefer light-backs which are lighter in colour so most cock birds will be split for cfw, these pairings with either lt back or cfw are economical as both sexes will be produced in both colours 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
