No offense taken. Rip away! I just choose to disagree with your interpretation.

Sorry, I read the original post wrong. For some reason I read white-eyed hen instead of white. My mistake.

The hen could be from the Silver pied hen and the son of the pair. If the Silver pied hen is Bronze, the son would be split to Bronze. If the son was bred back to his mother the offspring could be Bronze. May also be carrying the pied or white gene as well as the white-eyed gene.

All chicks will be India blue and have 1 copy of the white-eyed gene. Some birds will have the white-eyed pattern others may not show it at all. They may also have white flights. Second generation breeding of brother and sister will not produce white or split to white. White is a color...

I think Thang has lost that loving feeling for you FBC. Send him up here! I have the nicest little hen who would settle him down in no time at all.

Just shut mine down. Here's the last bunch. Last one hatched Wednesday.

Must be my week for weird eggs. The first one I cracked open thinking it would be a double yolker. In the 10 years we have had chickens, this is the first one of these. I think a BR laid the big ones. Not sure on the little one Next egg. And for the grand finale! A whopping 5.8...

Hens can have color on their crown as well, so, not an indicator of sex at that age. They just won't turn blue like the males do as they get older.

Not a`pea. Sorry I'm sure someone else will know what he may be.

To get back to the subject. I would say 2 India blue, 1 silver pied and 1 either Cameo or Purple. I agree with Arbor that the white is probably masking the color and is the father. Does the lighter color chick have white flight feathers? It's hard to tell from this picture. When you have a...

I'll give you a very simple explanation because I'm not very good with the punnet squares. Yes, your hen (Cameo) is a sex linked color and she is split to blackshoulder. Regardless of their color, all hens can be split to the 'regular' colors, patterns, etc. But no hens can be split to a...

I agree with what you are saying, but in your previous post you said your hens were split to cameo and opal. That was why I made my comment. Cameo is a sex link color. Opal is not. Cameo hens can be split to opal.

India blue chicks normally need to be about 3 months of age before you can be sure. Males will retain their barring after a molt, while females will lose theirs. Six weeks in a little young to tell.

My understanding of the sex link gene is that only the males can be split to a sex linked color. Your hens may be split to opal but not cameo.

The only advice I would give you is to drop your humidity down. I run mine about 45%. If I run it higher than that, I start having problems with the hatches.

For the last couple of months I've been trying to break some of my broody hens. Had way too many. During the day I would continually throw them out of the coop. Their nights were spent in a large trap outside the coop. Worked on most of them. I was looking at my game cam pics, that I...

If she had met up with a bobcat around here, it would have been---- Game Over This is one of the reasons all of my peas are penned.

How old are the chicks?

If I'm right about the hens, the blackshoulder chicks you hatched will be India blue blackshoulder. Possibly white eyed and carrying the pied gene. The colored chicks you hatched look India blue white-eyed. If you breed either color of the male chicks back to their mothers you should get some...
