So they will be sex linked? Females solid blue males laced or splashed?

In my experience, first generation should be all Blue - males and females - you most likely won't see any lacing until at least the second generation.

This is a UK site that I have book-marked on my computer. Excellent information regarding double mating, sex-linking, lacing, etc.

Had my first hatch of the season today! - a Mille fleur

A little calico pullet has been sitting on 6 eggs; 3 of them her's and 3 from my Blue Mottle girl. The Calico must have layed only 6 eggs before she went broody. I took the first few but she was determined to sit so I let her keep a few and added the other 3.

If I wanted good Cochins I would go to the show at Bloomington April 14. It is a Cochin International District meet. Should have a good turnout of Cochins

Oh my gosh, I am so new to this, I didnt even know Bloomington hosted things like this.. I will look like a complete newbie there, but that sounds like so much fun! Do they sell chicks at these events?

You never know who will bring what to a show. It is also a great opportunity to look at good Cochins.

There are 2 shows in KY in April, and two in May. All 4 shows are good shows to attend, and usually have a good turnout of Cochins.
