Re: Is your best bird cock or hen

For me my best performers (consistent) has always been hens. But
my best producer which to me is a bird that can produce quality
offspring on multiple mates has been a cock bird.

I think MY hens are the best-- Deeper tighter but less
frequent-- unlike Thom I will put all mine up in whatever short
of TORNADO cocks or hens they fly roll or leave-- (Fly Hard Cull
Harder). GOD Bless!!!

This is a very good question. Although nobody really knows the
answer to performing genes, most of them will agree that
co-dominant genes are responsible for performance. If most of
the best performers are hens, and if we collect enough data to
prove this, we can then presume rolling genes can be sex-linked.
Although this question is subjective because my definition of
“best” may not be the same definition to all of you.
In my loft, I would say at least 60 percent of my best rollers
are hens. The better question would be this one:
How many rollers do you raise a year? Out of these youngsters,
how many of them are roll-downs (by that, I don’t mean bouncers,
but birds unable to fly or rolls and crash on every roll), and
what percentage of these roll downs are hens? What is also
important to know is that, if any parent of these roll-downs was
also a roll-down?
This data would help a lot about rolling genes being sex-linked
or not. If we get something out of this data, everyone would be
flying nothing but hens???
