Sent you a PM also.

The black chicks you can cull now to save on feed, trust me, they will get out of hand, especially after the third cross we were spending $100 a week on feed, because I didn't want to cull until I was sure. Main thing is looking for the white spot when going about it this direction.

Keep me posted and pictures are always nice to see. I wish I had taken more with the chicks.

Started with GLW over Barred Rock. Then followed up with a backcross of the F1 male over GLW hens. The silver gene in the Barred Rock also gave me silver in the process. So ended up with some Silver and Gold hens and the males are currently carrying a S/s Silver and Gold. These are the results of the backcross.
