Could You Use a Black Sumatra Rooster over Barred Rock Hens to get Black Sex-Link Chicks?

1.5 year old Wheaten Game Hen

Thats what I was afraid of, Thanks.

Does anyone know how to sex 3 month old Canada Geese?

This is my 2 year old Black Sumatra rooster.

If these are in fact roosters, would they be worth keeping, or should I get rid of them?

Thank you so much. Im going to talk to them and see is they have pure stock or not. Its no big deal, but I just was curious if they could be roosters. Here is one more picture.

Quote: I agree, maybe part something else too.

These three are so different than the others. My friends only have barred hens, and RIR roosters. Hopefully they will lay soon.

These are the "hens" I was talking about. The one picture is of one by itself, and the other is all three together drinking. What do you think? They have deep "voices" but no crow yet. The rest of the hens that i know are hens look just like the ones in 1newegg's photos.

I bought some black star hens from a good friend, that only has RIR Roosters and Barred Rock hens. 3 of the "hens" are getting longer tail feathers, saddle feathers, and have huge feet. They are all black with a little red on the neck and breast just like the other hens. Is this possible?

I purchased some Black Star and Barred Rock Hens about 2 weeks ago. They were running with a Barred Rock rooster. They are now running with my Black Sumatra rooster. How long will it take for my hens to start laying my roosters fertilized eggs? Any help will be appreciated!

Here is my Black Sumatra Rooster.

The lighter yellow hen has some barring throughout, and the darker one is more reddish with black tips on her tail. The black hens look like my sumatra rooster but are larger than him. They have black legs, and face and very small combs. One of the black hens has yellowish legs and brown/red...

It all depends on the breed of chicken. Most can't fly but a few feet, but some like Black Sumatra and American Game, can fly several hundred yards or farther. Chickens will usually stay close to their "home" so they can roost in the same safe location. The coop they are in now is their...

If they have all of their feathers, they can fly. I have had them fly out of a 6 foot enclosure as fledglings. The hen flew up and over the top and then her keets went right after her. Funny thing is they all flew back in the enclosure later that evening.

its normal for the eggs to have no movement. As long as nothing changed from thusday, i.e temp, moisture, then the eggs should hatch just fine.

What I do with my ducklings is take an old one gallon milk jug, cut a hole in it, a few inches from the bottom, that they can only get their head and neck into. This eliminates them playing in the water and only use it to drink. The water inside the jug will still get messy due to their eating...

I would say Buff Orpington Duck as well. There is a picture of ducklings on the Mcmurray hatchery website.
