Congratulations! Shipped eggs are difficult to hatch. They can get scrambled during shipping. Postal service is not egg friendly most of the time.

he look good to me .he is too young .will change 100 time before he get to adult hood .
mossy on BC chicks does mean he has a lot copper . not a bad thing .

You would be best to find a breeder close not a hatchery. Where are you from?

I took Ruby and Jade out of Blazes pen. I left Pearl. I added Violet and the two from Jaspers pen. Now wait for clean out and egg size. Blaze is worse this morning after getting new girls. He is in major attack mode! He was attacking through the outside fence and he never did that before. He did attack the fence in the hallway but never the outside pen. The hen turkey went after Blaze big time. My husband was cheering her on. Named her braveheart. Lol

you are worrying too much .the cockerel is fine ,.mossiness on the cockerel is no as bad as on the pullets .the cockerels carries a lot colour pattern in they genes .
if the mossiness is on the lower part of the body { chest ,lower abdomen } than it is a problem .
you cockerel is mossy on the upper part of his body .
