x2 Cute chick. You will need to keep posting as he grows, so everyone can watch the progress. I'm curious about the egg color....bluish green? or greenish blue? Thanks for posting, I love chick picts!

Hi CCL folks! I hatched out one CCL this weekend and I'm pretty sure I have a dark male here, but I'd love a confirmation or opinion from you all:

Congrats on your beautiful boy! I am loving the grey base and am really excited to see how he grows in! Pair him with a very cream girl and you have an amazing chance at light (double barred) grey baby boy offspring.

Thanks. He's really cute, now I just need to get more hatching eggs to try and get him a few ladies! He was the only one out of 3 shipped eggs.

Please, careful with the shouting (large text) before noon. My coffee hasn't kicked in yet and I'm not ready for it.

I told her I was sure it was a boy, but I recommended not using him for breeding because he was so dark.

thats a male and a dark one... I would love for you to band this boy and see how he turns out. so we know how dark males look when matured

the reason for Dark males is not the lack of Homozygosity on the sex linked barring gene(double barring) this trait(dark males) is still a big mistery, it could be related to other genes like red enhancers, but we just dont know, thats why I am begging him to record and take pics of this boy as he mature. I really doubt he is dark because he is not homozygous for the barring gene as I have yet to see a none barred CCL on this forum from you guys..
