I have a hen sitting on 4 eggs, today is day 21. This morning I saw one hatched and looks healthy. When estelle (mama) stood up we removed one that was partially hatched and dead. The other twoeggs don't have so much as a crack after all day. We put the eggs underneath her on the same day so...

The hen passes the barring gene that puts white spots on the males. You can use any roo

I have been told by several breeders that for the head spots to mean anything it has to be a bcm roo over a legbar hen. The hen passes on the gene that spots the males heads. Let us know hiw it goes

We are too, just working on having an awesome backyard flock:-) Have been researching for awhile.That first hatch would be sexable at hatch. Then you could breed them to what ever breed you want to get more of the traits you want but their chicks woulnt be sexable at hatch.

They won't be auto sexing, niether will mine. The chicks will be sex links, so they will be sexabke at hatch. If you breed those chicks it won't work on their chicks

They should. And the hen will pass 1 barring gene onto her male offspring which will give them a white head spot at hatch

I'm going to breed my fbcm to my ccl hen. That will give me sex link olive eggers.

Hi Maran lovers! I have some Olive Eggers that were bred by a Black Copper Maran rooster and Crusted Cream Legbar hen. Any guess on these "girls"? They are sooo cute and I really want at least two pullets! I'm scared I have all roosters. I'll add pictures as they grow but here they are at 3 days...

If you did a cream legbar roo over a black copper hen would it work the same and give you the sex link olive eggers?

Oops. Yeah a bcm roo over a cl hen gives sex link chick. Cool. Is it an obvious white spot? Thanks for your imput:-)

So if you breed a bcm roo to a cream legbar roo you get sexable chicks? How do you tell male from female chicks?

so to get a sex linked olive egger do you use a cuckoo marans roo or hen? and cross it with a cream legbar?

Yeah. I thought so. That sucks! Lol

I was afraid of that. Man that sucks. Lol

The possible boy is in the back.
