What did you mean when you said "I'm wondering if it is caused by the mother"? Are you thinking there is a genetic weakness? It sounds like you already posted a photo of your brooder set up- but I am not sure where... Can you repost the pics to this thread? Did all of the chicks come from...- kumquat

Girl chick, boy chick??
Welcome to BYC! You will get more accurate and reliable responses if you can post 2 photos of each individual chick (1. a profile shot of them standing, and 2. one clearly showing their comb/wattles). Please note how old they are in weeks, and it helps to label the individuals (a,b,c). Usually...- kumquat

No apologies needed! I love that you took the time to write a detailed response!

Anyone Know What This Is?
Hey - Just want to say I hope you won't get discouraged when posters disagree with your initial thoughts or point out something you might have missed.

Humm... I assumed that as hybrids the Golden 300s would not be expected to breed true to coloring in following generations, but maybe my thinking is off? Did you see much variation in your 2nd gen. chicks? Re: your lucky comment- It sounds like you have had a positive experience with the...- kumquat

What gender?
There are a couple of good threads on what people have done to successfully keep Cornish Xs alive for longer. Search for "Toads."
