Seems like decent hatch to me. All thing considered. Ah who am I kidding that's a great hatch for me lol

 

[roosterhavoc]

just a bit of advice, don't build pens in the dark. They may turn out kinda lopsided.

Male looks golden rather silver. Latter only is homozygous for grey. Grey locus is on Z-chromosome. Female has only one Z-chromosome while male has two. Female shown obviously has a Z-chromosome with grey coding locus. All her sons will be grey by male shown; half as golden and half as silver. Pullets by male shown will inherit only one Z-chromosome and it will come from that male. Half will get grey gene and half will not. Those without will not be grey. You should see 1 in 4 chicks or 1 of 2 pullets come out other than grey.

Does cock have wheaten kin? Hen not wheaten - grey that can not be source for lighter down coloration. Wheaten makes for the lighter chicks but not sex related.
