    BSL Boy or Girl?

    Hello all, I recently received 12 black sex link pullets from a hatchery. One of them seems to have a small white spot on the side of her head… is this a cockerel or just a nicely decorated pullet? See attached 2 pics 4 days apart.

    Gene Behind Black Combs

    I'm so fascinated by chicken genetics! Two of my 7mo BSL hens have very small black combs and wattles. One is slightly mottled. Is there a particular breed or gene that would cause this? My other 7mo BSL "Rexy" has a very normal big red comb and big wattles and has since she was...
