Blue Copper cockerel is my guess.

That would make me very happy, since thats what i wanted. i dont really care about breeding YET. I just thought the BCM was a very pretty bird.

Wonder if the little guy is from Donna's boys that are from my birds? Would be great to watch him grow up. Please continue to post photos of him as he matures if you would.

Slick~ What's the count for chickies????

We are at 8 at the moment, Pink. #'s 7 & 8 just in the last half hour. More pips, but they don't look to serious right now.

Vent Sexing is 90 to 95% accurate. Sometimes you still get a Rooster.

I thought they could only vent sex certain breeds not BCMs? When I did a search on sexing BCMs there was nothing about vent sexing as an option. I know you can vent sex but again I thought there were limitations? If this is the case than how come I dont here anyone speaking of this method. I f you cant it seems a bit odd they would offer it for BCMs.
