    No offense taken. Rip away! I just choose to disagree with your interpretation.

    PEACHICK COLOR

    Sorry, I read the original post wrong. For some reason I read white-eyed hen instead of white. My mistake.

    Color question...

    The hen could be from the Silver pied hen and the son of the pair. If the Silver pied hen is Bronze, the son would be split to Bronze. If the son was bred back to his mother the offspring could be Bronze. May also be carrying the pied or white gene as well as the white-eyed gene.

    PEACHICK COLOR

    All chicks will be India blue and have 1 copy of the white-eyed gene. Some birds will have the white-eyed pattern others may not show it at all. They may also have white flights. Second generation breeding of brother and sister will not produce white or split to white. White is a color...

    I think Thang has lost that loving feeling for you FBC. Send him up here! I have the nicest little hen who would settle him down in no time at all.

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Must be my week for weird eggs. The first one I cracked open thinking it would be a double yolker. In the 10 years we have had chickens, this is the first one of these. I think a BR laid the big ones. Not sure on the little one Next egg. And for the grand finale! A whopping 5.8...

    sexing peachicks

    Hens can have color on their crown as well, so, not an indicator of sex at that age. They just won't turn blue like the males do as they get older.

    Any ideas on what colors these are?

    To get back to the subject. I would say 2 India blue, 1 silver pied and 1 either Cameo or Purple. I agree with Arbor that the white is probably masking the color and is the father. Does the lighter color chick have white flight feathers? It's hard to tell from this picture. When you have a...

    Any ideas on what colors these are?

    I'll give you a very simple explanation because I'm not very good with the punnet squares. Yes, your hen (Cameo) is a sex linked color and she is split to blackshoulder. Regardless of their color, all hens can be split to the 'regular' colors, patterns, etc. But no hens can be split to a...

    Any ideas on what colors these are?

    I agree with what you are saying, but in your previous post you said your hens were split to cameo and opal. That was why I made my comment. Cameo is a sex link color. Opal is not. Cameo hens can be split to opal.

    Blue peachicks sex ?

    India blue chicks normally need to be about 3 months of age before you can be sure. Males will retain their barring after a molt, while females will lose theirs. Six weeks in a little young to tell.

    Any ideas on what colors these are?

    My understanding of the sex link gene is that only the males can be split to a sex linked color. Your hens may be split to opal but not cameo.
