14 pips and 1 chick now!
This is what I am expecting:
Mating these F1 birds together will produce (in a large hatch)
Barred; Black; Delaware; Split gold/silver males; Buff Columbian; Barred Buff Columbian & Silver Columbian (the last will be pullets)
in the ratios 18:6:3:2:1:1:1 The Delawares will be in a ratio of 2 males to each female.
I will select the Delawares & the Silver Columbian pullets.
Do you see how the ratios work (in a large hatch)? 18 Barred, 6 Black, 3 Delaware, 2 Split gold/silver, etc.....
