Interesting cross, I raised some Sasso birds last year and kept some hens back for breeding, they were the slower growing Label Rouge type, it was my intention to cross them to my Indian Game but I lost them to the fox while I was working away!
What type of Sasso's do you have ?
-
they are brown, not sure of the strain as bought them as day olds, they are a bit thick but caught on eventually to the free range life, they are active enough though
-
If you want to set some eggs I will buy some chicks from you, heading north from Carlisle how long would it take me to get to yours ?
-
carlisle is about an hour away j14 off m74, will have enough in a couple of days to set a batch
-
Yeh I get over that way with work so will be no problem pickin them up.
PM me when you have set them and we will sort things out :thumbsup:
