I had a few with the black as well. What does that mean?
Quote: My 3 chicks are a cross of black copper marans and cornishX--- the black and copper leaks thru the dominant white. I've seen this in my white EE bred to a blue Ameraucana. SO this means cornish are dominant white??

These guys mob me everytime I open the brooder they want whatever I give them and they want to be first! And WOW so much poop! I switched protien levels this week to 24% for 1 bag I was hoping that the extra protien would help them to gain a bit more? I had been giving them the 20% chick feed and yougurt with egg yolk everyother day, as well as using broiler booster from McMurray in their water. I have another brooder with the smallest of the Cornish and two Buff's that we are pretty sure are roosters for a total of 7 in that brooder. I know ya'll are doing FF but thought you would like some weights on standard feed to compare with, as well as ask if these weights are about right? As these are my first I'm looking for all the information and suggestions I can get, thanks! 
It means they have 1 copy of dominant white. Two copies and they are pure white.I had a few with the black as well. What does that mean?
So sad about it, she was incredibly healthy this morning and was gone by the time I got home. At least I have some first generation chicks.
