I have seen a few culls sold when John K was making the cuckoo orpingtons in australia but not any chocolate ones he created he chopped those

What about the issue with decreasing quality of pure breeds that are available now. Do you think that breeders selling these crosses or 'experiments' to the public instead of just culling has contributed much to this problem?

Contributed, Yes, to blame, No.

I really feel it's not the sale of the inferior animal that creates the problem, it's the dishonesty of the shonks who don't pay for the 'real deal', but still want to make the premium that is paid for the 'real deal'.

It's like saying guns are bad because they kill people. No, people kill people. It's a bad person that gets the gun to kill people, just like its a bad person that gets the 'experiment' & passes it off as the 'real deal'.

Who should be punished?, the person who sell the 'experiment' (or the gun), or is it the person who is using it for ill intent (the shonk/bad person)?

After all, the seller is just trying to fund their next project, but yes it all "contributes".

PS. I'm a gun lover :-D
