if i breed a red checker hen with a black and white cock bird ?
You could get any variety of colors, BUT, a RED hen and a BLUE/BLACK cock is a sex linked mating. So, any RED babies that you get will be cocks and any BLUE/BLACK babies you get will be hens. As soon as they begin to feather out, you will know what sex they are.if i breed a red checker hen with a black and white cock bird ?

Yes, I know. You call it black and it looks black but it's actually blue.no the cock is black and white
o sorry at least i learnt something newYes, I know. You call it black and it looks black but it's actually blue.There's just so much blue pigment that it appears as black to us. The bird is still technically blue.

Well, LOL...that little hen will be winning somewhere beside here. First time out of the loft, she took off and I haven't seen her since. That was at the beginning of March. The other two are still here though.those are cool birds and those young ones they look like winners to be i am try to get a pic of the cock bird
