I have a hen that went broody on a clutch of dummy eggs (gold balls). She has been sitting in them for 24 hours so to Ightveh I moved her into a private pen with the intention of giving her some real eggs in the next 2 days. When I moved her I noticed she was sitting on the golf balls as well as...
Lol. Thanks guys. I'm not trying gir sexlink chicks. I'm more concerned with getting all blsck chicks. I like variety. So if he gives me a couple of barred hens I'll be happy.
I also love crossing crisses. My fear is to get all similar brownish chickens. I want as much variety as possible. And I love knowing the the mottled gene is recessive. That means even more surprises and variety down the road.
Omg Ridgerunner. You are amazing that is e exactly, exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you so much. I know who to go to next time I have a question like this. Thanks again.
Cool. I was hoping for some barred chicks. The other chicks I'm assuming would be black. Also out of the 50% that would be barred, they can be male or female right?
And if he's is not a barred rock but maybe a black sex link then what does that mean for future chicks. Barred or not barred? If crossed with my Delaware hens would the chicks be sex linked?
I got her at a fair here in portugal. At first I saw the markings and thought bantam Columbian but then I saw her body and tail and knew I was dead wrong.
