Interesting about the sex link marking. I don't suppose that marking would be true for a Golden Cuckoo Marans over light Sussex chick would it? I'm not seeing large white dots on either of these babies. And now CGG has confirmed the chicks parentage, and we've found the black orp had no part in it. The whole genetics world is confusing but fascinating to me.
Thanks for the information about your olive eggers!

I agree with SadieSue....this is so amazing it makes my head hurt. How do you know this? Is there somewhere on the internet to tell us these things? How do I know if I cross X with Y and the color is Z, Z is a female....etc. http://bestsmileys.com/clueless/4.gif

There are web sites that can tell you, but yes, cuckoo marans have sex linked markings AFTER they fledge, the males barring is more distinct & allowing more of a white clear bar & clear black bar, same pink legs.
Golden fledging appears as he ages & starts growing his hackle feathers.
The pullets will be darker, and more "smudged" with what appears as "dots" rather than a clear barring.
This also applies to fledged birds, not fluff.
To sex, wing sex them, at 1 -2 weeks old. After that, watch their hock sizes & combs. And remember, standard comb marans pullets can have large combs, but will not redden until POL.

You say there is 2.0 on the ground. What 2 points are you connecting the meter to? Disconnect the hot wire and check the ground for voltage. Has this changed with more / less rain? How old is the fenceer is there a chance it is old and may just be at the end of it's useable life?

here lets try again.

You want to really be confused ???
I bred Blue Ameraucana Cock to Blue Ameraucana Hens, and have hatched over 50 of their eggs, and sold/shipped over 50 more, and one day, in a hatch 2 months ago, a weird "splash" chick hatched.
This baby, is not a splash, but mottled..
pips&peeps answered that there is no such thing as a mottled ameraucana....I agree there.
Just look at the standard.
Not only that, she has tufts.
Last time I said this, Ultasol corrected me & said the Ameraucana has "muffs", yes I agree, BUT this pullet has tufts like an araucana!!!!!!!!
I showed the bird to Ogress when she was here.
This is one beautiful pullet.
It proves if you breed long enough, who knows what will hatch out ?

She's beautiful, and definately tufts and not muff. I think you ought to breed her - maybe whe will make more beauties and then you can name a new breed!
