    I ordered from a hatchery French Blue Copper Marans, CC Legbars and Blue Laced Gold Wyandottes. This was the only yellow chick.

    Sorry, I'm really not familiar with breeding these types of roosters. I should of said they are more cuckoo feather than Barred Rock.

    18 weeks old. The pullets are solid black with a top knot. The roos are barred all over black and white. They look similar to a Barred Rock. I'll takes some pictures and post them.

    The hen must have the barred gene and the rooster must be a solid color. Preferably the darker the better. That's why I chose a black rooster.

    Thermostat wiring

    If in series and one stat fails in the open position electrical current can not flow thru the second stat and on to the heat element. On my incubators I use an inexpensive digital thermostat with an output visual/audio alarm. By the way I am a retired electronics professor.

    Thermostat wiring

    If you wire them 'inline' aka series circuit, if one fails both will fail. Wire them in a parallel circuit and if one fails the other will work.
