THANKS! Wish I can find more on vent sexing... I would like to see some pics or diagram, or a good explanation on what is a boy as aposed to what is a girl inside the vent, and all the different shapes that are inside boys and inside shapes that are girls? I know there are several but even if someone can show me a couple it would be nice to see the difference between boys and girls... I was going to try it on my next hatch to see if it is even possible. I'm going to seperate the different vents and see what I come up with. Has anyone had experiance with doing this?  wink

Stromberg's has a book on vent sexing, the name of the book is Sexing all fowl, baby chicks, game birds, and cage birds by Loyl Stromberg. It only cost $8.95 and I found it very informative. smile

There's a whole world of differences between propagators and breeders. My goal is to propagate breeders towards the Standard of Perfection.
 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, you can make a purse out of it, but it won't be silk. LOL
 
Maybe in about another 30-40 years I'll get this "being an expert" thing figured out by then. LOL

Question on gold x silver.
If you cross a gold hen to a silver rooster say= golden lakenvelder hen x silver spangled hamburg rooster.
The chicks will be or would be sex link. Is this right?
Roosters= gold
Hens= silver

This is indeed awesome, thanks.

It should work, shouldn't it, to cross a nice RIR roo with a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen?  And then the chicks would be reddish if female and white if male.

Right?

I was thinking of doing one of my really beautiful Heritage RIR Roos with this cross.

Thank you!  I had been using my Black Penedesenca roo over all my hens and have just managed to figure out that all the barred offspring are males.   I really should have read this earlier!
