Do Barred cochins follow color barring for genders? Dark=pullet, more white= cockerel?
I have 2 chicks; a barred cochin father on a partridge cochin hen that is very dark with very little barring. I also have anther chick with the same father but a barred rock mother who is also very dark. Curious if that could indicate their genders. So far very little comb & wattles at 4 weeks.
No, the barred rock mix was not intentional. I didn't know he slipped in with the big girls. I was trying to breed a black sex link, but instead got fluffy feet.... Oops!
