The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

But barred female crossed to non-barred male makes sex-linked chicks, right? And the barred ones are the boys?

Right. But the head spot still means BARRED.

 

[Painted Calls]

3 boys for sure. Are there 4?

What colors? Why getting?

I ordered 15 (5 cockerels, 10 pullets) Chocolate Orpingtons from a farm store not far from me.
Yes they're coming from Hoover's and won't get there until first week in June.
I just need their Chocolate genes and figured Hoover's Orpingtons may look as close to Leghorn as Orpington. May have shaved off a generation or two of breeding going through them.

Hi. I feel that you guys will probably chase me out of here, but just posting to say I’m going to be hatching some eggs this Easter.
