🐣🐥Black Copper Marans and Whiting True Blues. Lots of videos🎥

most of the black and white chicks in these photos are from the rooster in the last photo with the large modified pea comb and black copper marans hens with straight combs. The rooster is the only barred bird in the flock.

What @NatJ said. I have a harder time with anything other than straight combs tho unless they're blantant obvious.

Last pic tho, I'm pretty sure that's a male...75% positive.

In that case, barring definitely does not tell anything about the sex of any chick.
Nice to have that ruled out

I did hatch some chicks that came from hens that have dark fibro skin and shanks and the rooster has yellow shanks. Idk if that has sex link possibilities

Unfortunately not. For skin color sexlinks you would need the opposite combination, a rooster with dark shanks and hens with light shanks.

I was looking at the chicks, I think I put a BCM in with the olive eggers and an olive egger in with the BCM chicks. I’m noticing the pink feet vs yellow.

I believe to be sex linked it would need to be the hen that is barred with a non barred bird. Boys would be barred. Roosters pass barring to both sexes but if you keep a barred hen and cross to non barred then you get barred males.

I’m planning on keeping the barred olive eggers pullets to hopefully backcross them to a black copper marans rooster to make sex linked BC1 olive eggers.

Third possum this week.

I started feeding the chicks inside this little protective circle of garden fencing. It keeps the big chickens out of their food and not scratching and wasting.

Here’s some chick pics from around the yard the last couple days.
