Hello

I have been preoccupied for six months getting the gold hornets technically correct and this weekend is the biggest Royal Show in Melbourne.

I have produced brown hornets also with horns that go out sideways more horizontally like the brown (welsummer type brown) of the original Siciliana type Cornuta. I placed the browns at a remote farm in Victoria in order all are not here and that they produce number in isolation.

I found the Brocklesby information fascinating. Indeed promoting tissue mass will be enhanced by introducing large leghorn single comb it seems. I too will try this this coming season. My browns originate from a single brown leghorn hen I hafe here which I rescued on account of it having willow legs not yellow. All the brown hornets have willow legs.
