Hi all!
Just started a breeding project and want to make sure I have it all figured out!
I bred my Easter egger hens to my Cuckoo Marans roo...if I understand right because the hen is not barred/cuckoo the chicks will not be sex-linked? I've read some but still a little confused. One of the first 4 chicks I hatched had the white spot on the top of its head the other 3 were pretty much the same w/o it. I know w/Marans(cuckoo) the white spot means roo, does that apply with my cross chicks or not?
Thanks so much!
