I have a moody broody (black copper marans) and would LOVE to hatch some of my own eggs. That is why I got roosters. Well, I ended up with 6 roosters. 4 silkies, a blue ameraucana and an accidental partridge Cochin. I can not afford more roosters. If I took my barred rock eggs would they be sex linked chick? I could then thin out the males. Most likely fathered by the partridge Cochin, possible the blue ameraucana. They live in the coop the Cochin lives in, so they hang with him most of the day (free range) but my ameraucana does get around...so could be his as well. Or should I just go by a few sexed pullets? Seems to defeat the purpose of getting roosters.
