zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Hi gaz, As allan said black flanks and a good solid blackcheek, thats not to say that you can't breed could quality bc from a poorly mark one. I had a pair in the flight split bbbc male and faint marked bc cfw hen,they produced 4 cracking chicks with good solid cheek patches. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeb-a-Deb-a-Doo 1 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Cheers chaps, I've got 3 pairs 1 cock bird has the black flank & the other 2 have brown flanks so if I want to get good solid birds I need to get rid of the brown flanked ones & get the black flanked ones?? Also taking into account that you can still get good birds from brown flanks but really want to get good bc stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
