Don't mean to change the subject. (genetics and projects are extremely interesting to me) but I have better pictures of my NJ and wondered if anyone could confirm hen or roo. The two that zipped out last died. They seemed fine at first, but I guess they were a little weaker than the others. I only posted pict of three chicks - They all have the same markings.

I love it when you guys talk genetics. It's like a mini lesson (if I can follow along!) on something I am very unknowledgeable about! So, allow me to ask this... If I where to take blue and silver laced Cochins, could I get silver laced blues? I mean, it seems to me like uou could, along with basic blue genetics- BBS... But I haven't seen any silver laced blues so I figured I would be tring to breed the wrong genes or something.

Ijust gave away all my cochin chicks. I am going to have to get a different birchen rooster since he has the vulture hocks, I was just hoping he would throw a non vultures birchen, but hasn't.
I have culled of half my flock. It appeases my husband for now, until he realizes I'm only doing it to make room for better breeders

Wish we were close enough to each other to meet somewhere and exchange. I need a rooster. babymakes6 is going to seen NJ eggs. Hopefully I will get girls AND boys.

My commiserations!

Also another genetics question.
I bought black Cochins to breed with the birchen, which has resulted in mostly birchen offspring. I was told bu a couple people on here that wasn't possible, but obviously it is. If you where to breed barred with black, would you get a 50% chance of more barred?

I am trying to plan for which birds I am going to focus on. I figure if that rule holds true, I could get a balck rooster, and have him cover a variety of hens and still breed true.
