Here's a link with pics of my Buff Orpington x Barred Rock pullets (post #178): https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=375015&p=18

A Buff Orp x Barred Cochin will have the same coloring, but with lightly feathered legs. They'll probably be quite large too!

I totally remember seeing them and i think i drolled over my laptop. XD NOW I GET TO MAKE MY OWN!!!

They will probally be huge cuz my BO is heritage bred!

So will a Lavender (Self-Blue) Ameraucana roo over a Cuckoo Marans hen give me black sex-linked chicks?

 

[Ridgerunner]

Self-blue rooster over cuckoo hen should give a black sex link. The chick should be plenty dark enough for the spot to be clear.

no not broody. but as brood fowl. anotherwords use them to actually reproduce themselves or their offspring to be as competent as they are at feed consumption and egg productions.

Would a barred rock rooster to barred rock hens would still be able to sex as day olds. WIth the white spot on the heads are males. Right?
They are from the hatchery.
