DOMINANT BLUE D 107
DOMINANT BLUE D 107 is a very popular attractively coloured layer that is used in intensive, small scale and free range production that is exported as GPS, PS and commercial stock.
This layer is very similar to the old Andalusian native breed and our pure lines use colour sexing in the hybridisation programme. This layer is highly adapted for sub-optimal and harsh production conditions for intensive production systems in Nigeria and Ghana and has very good hatchability in hot climates. This programme is used in free range and small scale farming by our customers in Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Nepal and Ecuador.
The characteristic of this programme is high egg productivity (about 300 brown shell eggs).
DOMINANT BLUE D 107 is result of crossing synthetic original paternal stock Blue Plymouth Rock with Barred Plymouth Rockmaternal stock. Day old chicks are colour sexed. Day old cockerel chicks are barred with a white spot on the head and day old hen chicks are dark without a spot on the head.
