I bet they are really pretty. I'll have to look for pics. Found this chart of feather differences.

What's the difference between barring and Cuckoo?

Quick sketch.

Thanks! I think I'm gonna use your design for a Silkie pen.

A couple of suggestions on this design.

First I would switch sides with the nesting box. Second I would lower the board. Or do away with it.

The stripes in the cuckoo are broken up. They aren't a solid line all the way through the feather. There's probably a more technical explanation, but that's what I see

I'll probably just put shavings in the floor and take the whole thing out for compost. That will work perfect for the Silkies.

But for breeding purposes it's the same as barring, right?

If you put the poop board too close to the roost, they will just lay their eggs there

That's my understanding. Are you talking about sex links?

I still don't know why genetics confuse me so much. Thoroughly ticks me off

But this thread is pretty interesting. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/580705/whats-the-difference-between-cuckoo-and-barred

What you should have said was "You need a real defense. I don't care how many points you score, no one from the Big 12 is getting an invite to the college playoff if your defense is giving up 45 points per game"

That's ok, the second time I tried to talk about my incubators, it came out Gators, but I caught that one!!
