Mix Bielefelder and Barnevelder

[RogierSt]

Hello all,

I am a loyal reader but this will be my first post. I have a mixed flock of double laced Barnevelder and Bielefelders. I have 2 double laced Barnevelder roosters and 16 double laced Barnevelders hens and 4 Bielefelder hens.

I am normaly only hatching my Barnevelder eggs but i am getting more and more curious what will come out of the eggs from my Bielefelders.

So the question is what can i expect from the eggs of the Bielefelder hens and the double laced Barnevelder rooster? Will the chicks still be autosexing chicks? Will the hens from these eggs when they grow up looking like a mix or will they look like more of one of each?

Best regards,
Rogier.

Sexlinked chicks, not autosexing. Males will be single barred red crele with extra black and females will be a red incomplete quail color.

Many thanks for your reply. What would be the difference between the male and female at day old?

These are the chicks we ended up with we just put 4 eggs in the incubator to see how they will be in the end. All 4 eggs pipped at the same time and hatched within 3 hours of eachother 1 exactly on the beginning of day 21. A very nice result i have no idea what they are if they are boys or girls. But we are very happy how it turned out.
