Title: Sexing scots dumpy chicks
Post by: mojocafa on May 03, 2013, 06:57:30 am
Hi

I have successfully hatched scots dumpy chicks.

The cockerel is light cuckoo, the hens are dark cuckoo or black.

I have just read that the chicks can be auto sexed where the cuckoo gene is present as the female chicks will be darker in colour.

Does anyone have any experience in this?

Thanks in advance,  mojo
