as long as you are not seeing any problems with the chicks, I would try it again and keep only the healthiest and very best.

This is Sarcasm...I am working on a painting, and I cannot visit BYC or I will never finish the painting!
The chicks are all healthy & super fine !!

ROFL! I was wondering what the relevance was to the rest of the photos you posted! I thought maybe it was a model for your painting!

can't wait to see more pictures!
well, I guess that just flew over my little pumkin head...

but I have an excuse for the last two days!

was being totally abused!

no solid food for two whole days!!! I don't do well without food!

had to have a stupid colonoscopy today... which means I won't have a good excuse for the rest of the week!

at least I don't have to have another one for the next 10 years... thank goodness!!

I have a question.. If I cross my Bielefelder rooster with my hens of different breeds such a gold and silver laced wyandotes, red star, EE etc will the chicks be auto sexing? If yes are they the same chipmonk stripes and dot on head?

As soon as I saw this I thought of an episode of Boardwalk Empire titled Bone Tuna, it was a play on "Buona fortuna", Good Luck in Italian although I am told not the way an Italian would say good luck. Supposedly this version will bring you bad luck. It certainly brought the guy in the series bad luck. Ahhhhhh, I digress. In bocca al lupo! It is a beautiful Tuna.

I believe the Biele roo over silver laced wyandotte would make sex linked chicks, but none of those would be autosexing.

Sex links only work for one generation (if you mated siblings they wouldn't be sexable at hatch), auto sexing works for every generation (if you mated siblings they would still be sexable at hatch).

I have several pullets and 1 roo... My babies range from 3-6 weeks of age. They are all SUPER sketchy! I'm thinking of selling most of them and maybe keeping just the cockerel and a pullet. Thoughts?

How old is this hen? She is so pretty!
