hi kenny.
just confuse how i can clan mate if my head of the line is hen. My idea is 3 hens to 1 cock per line. Does that mean clone hens will stay and rotate the doner cock.

You are right, you cannot clan mate using hens to head the separate clans.
But you can line-breed with hens. Just make sure you are using the 3 line solution as used in the founders program.
As far as using a reoccurring parent vs a “donor” parent, as used in backcrossing, it’s the reoccurring parent you breed to, and discard the donor parent.
We are getting ready to do a Master Class Video on Clan Mating and this should answer many of your questions as well.
I do recommend following the Founders Program from the beginning.
I hope this answers your questions,
Kenny
