Make hatching cages . another idea use white hens with red rooster(sexlink) that way you will know on hatching day which are males & females.

ok so your saying if i cross my white hens with my RIR roo, they will be sexlink? so confused!

 

[deerman]

yes if you have pure white rock,or pure white leghorn.

RIR OR NH RED rooster X white rock = golden comets(white rooster, golden pullets)

RIR or NH red rooster X white leghorn = red star(white rooster, golden pullets)

red star are not as large as the comets, so extra males of the comets make better meat birds.

The rooster will not be all white little color on the backs.

comet X comet = Mutt chicken same with all sexlink

Oh... my head hurts. It's way to late at night, or early in the morning to understand... I'm interested in the results though.

This is great! Anyone else want to join the experiment? I'm going to keep this going for a while.
If you want to join, be sure to put up a photo like Chickapoo did! That was really helpful!
