Dixie Chicks

[Ravynscroft]

but the ccl roo is double barred meaning the chicks will all be barred at hatch, females should have a darker down. Keyword is should.

Double barred roo over single barred hens usually causes the male chicks to be lighter in color at hatch.

Now, yes the barred hens with a non barred roo should make all males barred and sexable at hatch.

Should, yes... idk... I've heard some wonky things can happen with CCL roos... :/

anything possible but it's been healthy, active, noisier than an average chick, eating and drinking fine. I don't know. I don't trust her now, the chick passed.

I am so very, very sorry!!

I totally understand... I came close to having Silkie stew the other day, and that was only him trying to take a piece of my hand not a chick...

Already crowing???? Why are you killing the hen? Is she an egg eater?

In reply to your earlier question.....I want 10. Not having luck though.

Another question. We have 2 barred rock hens. Should I breed them with my SS roo, or with the CCL roo?

Those crowers are 5 to 5.5 weeks old. This is the 2nd time I've had 5 week olds crow! I'm going to try to get video of it. It is hilarious. He's a ohikiXChocolate orpington cross and he puffs that little chest out and let's it fly! Lol

Green eggs... takes a dark brown, like Marans, to make olive...

what kind of wonky things?

Oh, just the barring and autosexing traits... heard that with other breeds that are barred all chicks come out with headspots...
