Yay, Dan!!

Oh, and about the Welsummer, it seems all of those eggs have been producing BCM chicks! Hey, at least if it's a pullet, she will lay dark eggs!

I had shipped eggs be crosses. There is a theory out there about sperm in a hen being first in first out. Just like thinking that the Roo determines whether a chick will be a boy or a girl(The hen determines gender with chickesn), This is wrong thinking. It mixes in a storage organ and lives four 21 days or so!

The person removed a Wheaten Ameracauna Roo from a pen of SG Dorkings and added a SG Dorking Roo. She only waited 2 weeks before collecting the eggs she shipped me. This is what I got:

Pullet

Well I know nothing about the dorkings but i do know that pullet has wheaten ameracauna in it I'm assuming that is what a dorking roo is supposed to look like?

The roo is a cross too.

This is an SG Dorking Pullet (Mimi)


This is an SG Dorking Cockerel(Corwin)



I love the Dorking X Ameracauna pullet! She lays the most beautiful blue eggs. Hers is the one in the middle. The white one is from Mimi, the SG Dorking pullet.
