I was missing the "high" of chicken tending now that I'm back at work and decided to set 18 eggs at the beginning of Feb. Hatch day was yesterday, and of course I got called in to work, so I have no idea who came out of what egg, but so far there are 12 puffballs running around the brooder. I'm wondering if anyone with a good grasp on genetics can help me determine two things. 1. Is there a possibility of sex-link down color with these mixes and 2. will the chicks from the same hens vary vastly in color/plumage?
I have 2 roosters, both mosaics with good fibro. Since Mosaics are a bit of a mystery this makes it hard to determine what genes get passed, but I've heard whispers that Ayam Cemani and Hmong were used in their creation. Hens could be anything including Buff Orpington, Black Marans, AC roo over LH hens, Barnevelder and Barbezieux.
Here are the chicks. Hoping y'all can step in and help me figure out who is who's mom and if there's a miraculous chance I have a sex-link so I know who's a keeper and who's a cooker.
Aaaaah...it feels good to be back on this chicken forum!
