Chooksman, One of my BC chicks is mossy. Not good! It came from my best hen from last years hatch. All these chicks may have come from same hen. My best Blue Copper hen from last years hatch. I think I should cull them all. Need your input.

I can only see it on the one but might just be hidden. Two pictures of mossy chick and one of blcm chick. I don't know why in first picture the blcm look so light. One of the light looking ones is the blcm in last picture.
