That description of how to sex Dominiques is very descriptive. However, it screws up when it says Dominiques are sex linked. Dominiques are an AUTO-SEXING breed.

In order to get sex linked chicks, you have to breed two different breeds of chickens.

Auto sexing is when you breed two purebred chickens (same breed) and can tell male and female chicks apart by markings on their heads (and sometimes the color of their legs).

Trufax!

Camping there was a guy on the site that states he would raise as many as Cemani 500 chicks a year to pick out 10 breeders that he really liked. He had some very nice looking breeders. He claimed even after several generations he was still getting white toes and occassional feathers.

I realize you have Honas, but I believe their genetics are very similar.

The toes and legs will probably never turn dark.

Thanks, enola, that's basically what I've heard too. My breeder said that clear toes will darken, but the white will stay white.

Still cute, though.

Wow with that comb size at birth that ones sure to be a roo if I had to guess. Congrats on the chicks hatching Camping

How are your hands doing Jane ?  I just imagine that pain has to be worse then the back. I of course dont know. I have it in my hands but not as bad as my back.

Hands & back are much better. Thanks. Hope & pray that your neck & back are better soon.

Looks blue to me. I have young hen laying green eggs & i want a blue egg layer.

Hi Jane, nice to hear from you Glad to hear that your hands & back are doing much better. How is your hip doing?
