14 pips and 1 chick now!

This is what I am expecting:

Mating these F1 birds together will produce (in a large hatch)
Barred; Black; Delaware; Split gold/silver males; Buff Columbian; Barred Buff Columbian & Silver Columbian (the last will be pullets)
in the ratios 18:6:3:2:1:1:1 The Delawares will be in a ratio of 2 males to each female.

I will select the Delawares & the Silver Columbian pullets.

Do you see how the ratios work (in a large hatch)? 18 Barred, 6 Black, 3 Delaware, 2 Split gold/silver, etc.....

That's awesome, Kathy, thank you! Isaac is a special guy to me. I'm happy that I have made a few Dellie addicts.

Schweet! I'll be, who woulda' thunk it. Outta all the chances in the world for it to be most likely barred, right off the bat you get a yellow chick, ha.

Cool beans, Mrs. Kathy

Keep us posted on the fruther goings on up there in the Show-me state.

Second one is here! I can't see a dot on the head. This might be a pure black. Will have to wait for it to dry a bit. 15 more pips, too!
