I have a 100% het. albino female ball from a recently discovered dishonest dealer. She's 1400 grams. Should I breed her or am I better off waiting till next season (my intended choice, though curiosity as to whether she's a het. is frustrating).
A potentially ripped off soul!!!

To breed her or not to breed her....

do it......het amels aren't worth squat anymore and I am an honest dealer.........what I was offered today makes thm cheap enough to breed them as fast as possible and not worry about them.........
I have 5 new female hets that I should have bred last year but waited....by the laying season they were all big enough to have bred but weren't cycling themselves due to no male introduction......
I have bred small pastels this week with the intent that they will put on plenty of size in the next 6 months till they lay.......might as well.......pastels tanked bigtime......need the supers and bees and pastel ghosts to make any cash from them.......maybe a super pastel ghost will get a couple hundred bucks by next year????.......hope so anyways.......

sad to say but there's alot of truth in what jeff is saying. he's not disregarding the health of his animals, all he's saying is the longer you wait, the less your animals are going to be worth.

didn't mean to come off too serious. The reason felt the post was inappropriate is a simple question was asked. No references were made to making money, etc.
I totally agreed with the direct response to the question, my advise would be the same... but I get turned off by people who assume everyone is concerned about making money, and give the poster a lesson on how much the bp market sucks.
Now I'm not trying to make the bp market more than it is. I'm a realist, but who wants to buy from someone who's trashing it when the question had nothing to do with money or marketing the animals.
