On the sex-link barring topic.
I read the page, very helpful, & I'm pretty sure the answer to my question is "no telling till they crow/lay" but gotta ask.
On the late set eggs that hatched around jan10 I have 3 that were
CL roo over EE (mixed mutts, not even sure which of my layers was the mom, the dad was an EE roo w/ some game cock & some Jap. & ?)
these mixed EE girls both lay green eggs, one bird is 100% black including her almost non-existent comb, the other is black w/ a gold neck collar and looks like she should be a cock, kept me guessing *forever* but she does lay nice eggs now ;>
So, the 3 chicks are getting their feathers, they all started out black fluff, and the feathers appeared black at first, but in good light they now show some very faint barring, not white more like charcoal grey but you don't really even see it from a distance you have to look close to notice.
Does that tell me anything re: gender?
I'd rather not have 6 months of guessing on these if I can avoid it....Thanks!
