My best performers from year to year are consistently hens. I
struggle to find top performing cocks. I believe it most likely
has to do with my management. There is likely some unidentified,
unconcious choices or strategy I make that favors hens over
cocks. I have freinds that fly the same family and get the
opposite (more good cocks than hens).
In the breeding loft, I see no difference based on gender. How
can there be a difference when each parent contributes an equal
50% share, unless you're putting in on average better of one the
other.

My best have always been cocks and I struggle to find my best
hens. Like Jon, I think it is management. If there is only one
fly time available for the day, I will fly the cocks and let the
hens wait, no reason, I just do. Over the flying season, I think
my cocks get more air time and are seasoned for the wind,
heat..... where I tend to baby the hens. Yet when I consider
pairing my breeders I look for the best hen for each cock and
find my knowledge of the hens lacking when compared to that of
the cocks, which is poor management.
Take care my friends

Hey Joe, Just the opposit, I over protect the girls. I will
throw the boys out in 30 mph winds or when it is 100+ degrees.
Always was a pushover for the ladies! :)
Take care my friend

The key birds in my breeding program are usually hens.
