Glad you joined.
I have never heard about the dot on the head with Barred Rocks they aren't a sex link type breed. These 3 all had dots on the head as chicks and all turned out to be female. Time will tell with your Barred Rocks.Thanks Janiedoe! We are hoping for a lot of hens of course.
Now look at the little ones in the photos - the problem here is that the hen was a Potch Koekoek, and the father a black Orpington. You will see from the images that some have the spot and some do not. The Potch Koekoek was bred in South Africa from a Black Australorp and White Leghorn, along with some Barred Plymouth Rock! This is going to be interesting indeed...

The Large-Spotted Genet can often be confused with the Small-Spotted Genet, the main difference being the white tipped tail of the latter compared to the black tipped tail of the large spotted species.
Hello, thanks for a great introduction! I had to look up large-spotted genets, interesting looking animals, they must be challenging predators.
Thanks for joining us!
They are so cool looking! It's got the tail of a raccoon, the head of a cat, and the body of a leopard.
Hi there!
