6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[ronott1]

Sexlink chicks will be solid black for girls and black with a white spot on the head for boys. It sounds like you have a Blue genetics chick. You can use splash cockerels for the rooster in making sexlinks--BBS genetics makes sex links as well as black and solid red. You would need to use barred hens.

I bred sexlink olive eggers last season. The cock was a blue Arkansas blue and the hens were Crele penedesencas.

My son is killing me. Lol hes playing a video game with cheeping birds in it. I keep jumping up and running to the bator and looking. Im not feeling very positive though. no pips, rocking or peeping at all. This is my first time incubating though so im gonna chalk it up as a learning experience

Did that cross make blue barred boys? Do you have any pic of the chicks?

My first hatch was a bust too. It was a great learning experience for sure.

The first chick out is from the breeding I'm *really* looking forward to. SHE is already off to a great start!

More progress. If you look low (seven o'clock-ish) you can see the egg tooth.
