Great idea! Although I have 4 straight run barnevelder s and 4 straight run barred rock all about a week so I may get a rooster in one of that 8 lol they are all dual purpose so we don’t mind if we get extra roosters to eat later. I really wanted the bo to have a roo lol I’m weird probably I know but my thoughts were flock replenishing for the dual purpose and the bo hens make great mothers

all 4 of my barnevelders ended up being roosters. I have my suspicions that straight runs are the chicks they cannot adequately vent sex or just throw the roosters in with. I never have a good pullet turnout from straight runs at TSC.

From the idea of pullets start getting wing feathers first it looks like I have 2 and 2nof the barnevelders

All of mine except one feathered fast. I got two chipmunk looking chicks and two that weren’t hoping that made a difference.

I was trying to load pictures of my barnevelders but it didn’t come through. First picture they were only a few days old. Second picture was 1 week later.
