English White versus A&M White
Has anyone kept White japs that are not A&M? Here in the states we have what we call English White. Not the same as A&M's at all, smaller and I think the skin pigment is different as well. Just wondered if you have them in the uk and if you do what are they called there?

Re: English White versus A&M White
Well from what I've read (I can't remember where now) is that the original Texas A&M were the normal/wild colour. They then decided to breed them with English white to produce a white strain of Texas A&M. Apparently this is prefered because the colour of the skin after plucking looks cleaner with white birds. So in theory the only difference in size.
I don't keep either standard English white or Texas A&M white. Others might be able to elucidate more.
p.s. I don't bother plucking myself. I just skin the whole thing as it's quicker.
