    Cream legbar and lemon blue cochin cross male or female?? *Pictures*

    I crossed a cream legbar roo with a lemon blue cochin... and I am now confused about the gender.

    Cochin/ Cream Legbar chicks... sexlinks??

    I bred my lemon blue standard cochin to a full blood cream legbar roo. I hatched the chicks and 2 of them had spots on the back of the head and one had the "eye liner" look.

    Temp too high for a week

    I have conflicting temps on my thermometers and I think that the temp may have been 1 degree high for a week. Does this mean they will just hatch faster, or will I lose them?

    Nervous about BCM eggs in the incubator
