BCM Dad and Various Hen Mamas do the white spots on head indicate sex???

[TheDirtyLawyer]

Anyone an expert on sexing and genetics? We have Easter Egger and barred rock and marans mammas. Any ideas on sexing? Or do I have to wait :/

Are you looking for the sex of the chicks?

Yes

I wasn’t sure if the white spots on the head meant anything

Then we will need better pictures of each chick individually

Solid colored plumage male over barred female will be sexlinked.
Males will have white spots on head.

Any chicks with a head spot are male as the barring could only have come from a female barred parent....are the marans hens also bcm or are they cuckoo?

The rooster is a BCM and the one Marans hen egg is from another BCM (not cuckcoo).

It's hard to know which came out of which egg but i think the easter Egger baby is all black.

Then I have two black with a white head spot and one that's black with a yellowish face and belly.... I don't know who is from what egg anymore

I guess I have too many chickens. I'll see if she will let me hold them for pictures tomorrow.
