Hey everyone well today I picked up my chicks from Faraday40 (on the Illinois thread) and I am super excited to see how they grow up. I got two that should be first generation EEs(their mother being ccl/father being a pure 50% english black/lavender split orp) *NOTE: Does anyone know if that means he could have passed on a hidden lavender gene?*
We also got three pure black(as I said I dont know if they could habe gotten a lavender gene)50% English orps in the mix as both parents were non related 50% English
-there were four of these chicks but one was killed a couple days ago by a predator
The last chick's mother is an all white hen that lays pinkish eggs every day this chick may be all white but could also have little black spots in its down. Can't wait to find out how they all turn out. All the chicks have the same black orp Daddy. Will post pics later

I think I'll try that way of sexing and see how it goes. They're a week old should it work?
LOL...Sometimes it can be hard to tell with a new breed. I still have silkies who are not laying and they are 10 months old~I have lavenders one male one female (I think) I hatched them from shipped eggs. She should have started laying already but haven't. So maybe shes just a quiet Roo lol.
