Just past a week now... I wake up every night when my dogs bark, I worry the coyotes will come back to get them... So I get up and yell out the window "good boy" to my dog... I noticed coyotes run when they hear human voice close by.

They quit running when they get hit with .223 you wouldn't have to yell out the window in the middle of the night either.

yea I tried throwing rocks at them. And let my dog chase em before.

Basically same thing

A yote will kill most full size dogs bud id watch out letting them chase em. As said 223 is a great varmint caliber we use a 243 though.

Yeah same thing. On one hand you look like Barney rubble throwing rocks and the other the varmint is dead and your left with a beautiful pelt.

Guys I'm trying to sex my grey radios. Help? I'm guessing the all white heads are stags and the ones with a little bit of black are pullet

lol no all the golden ones are Hatch Stags for sure. Just asking about the Grey's.

Keep checking the saddle area of them. Move the top feathers out of the way and you should be able to see the beginning of "pointed" stag saddle feathers growing in or rounded soft feathers, pullet. How old are they?
Just for fun I say 3 pullets on the right. The one in the middle I say stag. Probably wrong though.

I had a real hard time telling those redquills a couple years ago. Both ended up being stags and I thought they were both pullets. Lol

These Gradios hatched 5 weeks ago.

theyre only coming out these two variants

I gifted a past Mentor of mine 5 pure hatch(blue legged, peacomb) pullets, and a (what I think is(lol)) Grey x Radio (Straight comb, pearl Legged) stag. He used to raise layers until a pack of coyotes wiped his entire flock(around 30) about a year ago. The Grey sire is all grey no red (straight comb, blue legged) and Radio hen (straight comb, pearl legged). Both Hatch brood are peacomb, blue legged.
My question is will the offspring stags of the gifted chickens, which will be 1/4 Grey 1/4 Radio and 1/2 Hatch, be mainly grey in the neck and pearl legged?
Which are the more dominant genotypes?
