I am working on the Gold laced right now to have it accepted by the APA. It is in its infancy. I used an American black Orpington 3 years ago and I am on F5. The color is correct but I have gone right back to the German type. I seem to loose a little length and hard feather American, *type* in the third generation. I think I need a few better black pullets for my project. I need all the help I can get. I am also looking for someone who has blacks and will work with me. I have width and depth and head. I need harder tail feathers. I have a good *fan* to the tail, but the feathers are just not hard enough. I have good length in hens. I am lacking back length in males. I am not even sure I should add another black into the mix until I see the F6s mature. I have three of them. I wish I had good American stock to compare. I have a buff..she is an American and they are and feel similar in type and bone structure. Just not tight enough feathers.

If you butcher out your chickens, and have fecal done with low worm load, would you still give your chickens a dose of wormer?
