Thanks for your signpost - yeah it's more green. The earlier stag was yellow.

I know this topic has been discussed a thousand times but starting a fresh so I have all the required info in one place I have a group of 8 turkeys (2m6f) about three years old. Living next door to but not directly with chickens. Lost one stag last week. Lethargic. Green poo. Now another stag...

Hi, Would a cream legbar hen x black Orpington too produce sex linked EEs? How about a cuckoo maran hen x jubilee Orpington roo for black sex links? Am I right?

So pleased you said this. I clean my birds meticulously but when they decide to lay in a dirty plant pot rather than a clean nest box, that's no marker of how busy I am. Some folk need to be more thoughtful.

I am hatching these for a trial to try to get sex linked Easter eggers... Have I got 9 out of 10 boys???

Thanks. How does the term booted bantam fit in here? Is that a style rather than breed?

3 birds on left. 2m&1f. Ignore the exchequer

I wasn't switched on enough so think about this in advance. The sex link was an afterthought!!

Got ya!

That's definitely what I do with my Maran hen x non Barred boy... And it works! Mind blown that it appears to work for these, too.

It's my hen that was the CLB. See the pics I've just shared with Ovaro

Hmm, yes, but I didn't think this would work given that the CLB is itself a cross. But there's definitely something going on as I've hatched 8 and there's four of each pattern. Four with one pattern have no barring and no comb. Ignore my earlier 5:2. It was lazy guess work
