After reading through these threads on Welbars I am a bit of a maze. I have exceptional Welsummers and Barred Rocks all APA standard and then some. So I decided to try and make some really good Welbars. I crossed the barred rock females with the welsummers males. My chicks have come out all black, black with a little white spot on the head, and black with a big white spot on the head. I see some of your chicks are either brown or black. Humm did I do some thing wrong? They are only 3-4 weeks old but still curious as to where to go from here with them. Will the black ones turn into some kind of a barred?
all black are females?
black with a little white spot on the head are ?????
black with a big white spot on the head are male?
From what I have read is you take the Barred male from this cross and you put him on some Welsummer females. Culling out all other females.
Correct or?
Any one really know what is going on?
