More pictures of the mama i found when she was younger- You can see the barring in her neck in these I believe. (If I know what I'm looking at it, I believe I do lol.)
And I finally found a picture of her sexlinked son from a previous hatch with a different father. Very clear white spot!
I thought so.
I've got more hatching, these were tests to see if eggs were fertilized and they were the most recent ones.
The others I've set have all consistently been fertile so I'll definitely have more!
Once I get one with an obvious white spit on the head it'll be easier.
Safe to say this is a boy then-? those two prominent black feathers appear to be barred (the stripes) right?
I think the other one could be too but it's not as obvious so I'll wait it out.
she does- You've actually helped me with her before with previous crossings I've done.
These aren't the first sexlinks I've done with her.
This is a Crele boy I got from one of sexlink crosses I've done in the past, father wasn't barred. He had that white spot. I couldn't find a day old picture...
So I'm starting my own Olive Egger project, and I'll be using an Ermine Ameraucana rooster and a Crele Penedesenca hen.
With Ermine being a newer pattern, I'm having a hard time trying to figure what exactly they carry and how it would play out with the Crele pattern.
Would this particular cross...
Didn't keep them unfortunately- We had a bad respiratory infection break out like a month or two after I hatched them and lost a lot of the grow outs to it. I also no longer own any polish. (Might change in the future but as of right now they aren't my focus.)
Awesome! How exciting. 🥳
Currently growing out offspring from my chocolate mottled project pen.
I have a black cochin boy over a chocolate and a chocolate mottled hen- Will be keeping at least one roo from them and breeding back to the mottled split sisters and the mother. (Since the roo's will...

Hey, this post was from last year but I'm dealing something similar-
Would the blue and splash offspring from blue chocolate split over splash be cockerels?
I know all the mauve would be females, but what about the splash and blues? 25% females and 25% males?
But i do have a hatch i did recently from the same chocolate roo- i believe 1 of them was from a salmon faverolle hen.
Also if you're looking for sexlinks i don't think the black rooster will do that.
So, update- she told me it's very likely he could be split.
She also told me to her the splash frizzle girl looks to be more of a leaky splash- told me to check for any red feathers on her.
she does but they're in a separate pen- she has a chocolate mauve pen that isn't sexlinked and then a sexlinked chocolate pen.
The splash frizzle came from a different place (don't know her history all that well)
The rooster came from a breeder who I trust quite a lot, beautiful birds- She marks...
The father is blue- I'll have to find pictures of him as a younger bird, he is just sunbleached.
He either came from a separated bbs pen, or a blue rooster over chocolate/mauve hens, which just makes split cockerels- She's a very responsible breeder.
If he is dun, then she must be mistaking them...
