Hi All, I recently got some "barred" pekin eggs. I hatched it and got a trio(2 males and 1 female) of barred (or should I say cuckoo ?) pekins. I am trying to get some information before the breeding season , so I will know if should mate them together or use black hen with the cuckoo male. can someone tell if this male is consider as good quality barred ? where I can find what the standard says regarding barred pekins ? regards Itay the young roo ...
The look very nice! Good barring. The standards for the barred cochins are the same as any other color. If you want to use your barred female with a black male to get sex-linked babies you could, but unless you need to improve type I don't know another reason to do so.
