Granny's gone and done it again

Unfortunately that is the nature of man. I don't want to see the younger generation go through a war. My generation watched our brothers, fathers and friends enlist or get drafted and shipped off to Viet Nam. Horrible thing to have to live through.

Or die during!

I know you got hatchery doms. Knowing this, I wouldn't expect them to be sexable at hatch. The headspot trick can work, but coming from a hatchery could have easily been bred out of them. I will say this, though: Males will likely be double barred and be lighter in color than the females. Keep in mind that barring is white, not black. So two genes of barring will make the bird lighter in color. Females will likely be darker since they receive one barring gene.

Yes that worked when the got a little older, but not right at hatch.

If you want sexlinks, breed your female doms with Rojo. Males will have a headspot and be barred.

You want a round ribcage area too. That's where the pork chop/loin is.

Once they grow their feathers, one sex is darker, the other is lighter. I think hens are lighter.

Cockerels lighter.
