Sex-linked. 2 more chocolate (female) chicks hatched, 1 male and 1 that I'm stumped on. Is not chocolate but looks like she/he only has one copy of the barring gene.

Question, can you tell if a rooster is double or single barred? I was so sure that mine was double barred... but the only other option would be if my pure CCL roo is the father. She did escape outside where he is so it's possible, but he's usually scared of the hens - thinx he's a dux :rolleyes:

OK, cool! Thanks for the lesson. :)
 
Candling done for day 7

That's what I as the problem with my barn yard mix they were not fertile I'm suprised well not really but my shipped ones are doing great they were packed like you would pack a porcelain figureene Chockadeehatch sure knows how to ship eggs!!
 
Quote: Thank you Ron! That's great information to have on hand. It doesn't appear that we can get Manna Pro egg wash here. I have seen an egg wash but it was a large jug for a fair amount of coin. I don't think I've seen anything for a small amount of eggs. I couldn't get the eggs set today so I didn't have to make a decision...yet.

I just realized that I reported an incorrect number set. I said 31, but really set 35! I candled just now, pulled one clear egg and realized that the incubator looked really full for 30 eggs. Recount showed that I am even fooling myself with the chicken math!
 
Not as bad as mine are. I have like three out of thirty-six developing. I think there were a couple blood rings and like the rest were clear.

I hope your 3 that are left develop and hatch. I know it's not as many as you'd like.

I was lucky that I added 9 of mine to the batch or I wouldn't have near as many. My friend from work wants some chicks so idk what to do.
