Hen or Roo

[Seadog72]

I have my very first batch of eggs in the incubator and feeling very excited About the experience. The eggs are from my chickens. one hens is a white rock and the other one is is a white leghorn. There are 6 eggs from each. The rooster is a buff Orpington. I was just wondering if I will be able to tell hen/Roos by colour or feather sexing. The eggs are at day 16 and looking good as far as development goes.

I don't believe that cross is sex linked.

 

[JadeFarms]

Those are not sex link.

Not sex link matings.

Nope, sorry. You'll have to wait until 8 weeks or so to be able to tell. Good luck with your hatch!
