They are roughly 3 weeks apart and are F3's for my del project. So i should not be worried about the columbian at this time?

The barring did not molt out on the pullets in my F'4's that I got directly from Kathy as chicks. Don't have any F'5's old enough on the ground yet to know but I don't think it will molt out.On my F5s, I am only seeing barring on the tails of all of them. They are still young and haven't gone through an adult molt. This is making it hard for me to really tell the sex on them. The pullets are very similar to the cockerels. Will this barring molt out and be correct on the pullets, do you think? I am still trying to sell these, but I'd like to be able to sex them correctly if I decide to do in the cockerels.

The four hens I used all had fairly correctly coloured tails and I still got some barred chicks this season. Must be coming from the Cocks, the two I used are both overcoloured - smut on chest, some barring on their backs, I don't know!
