Hello everyone,
I got my chicks Friday morning. I actually split an order with another BYC member. All but one arrived well and healthy.
My question is that in teh order, we had barred rock chicks AND cuckoo marans chicks. The barred rocks were supposed to be marked, as well as some other lighter colored chicks. When they arrived, there were no marks on any. How can I tell the difference between the cuckoos and rocks?
Two different hatcheries gave me two different answers; one said you cant the other said cuckoos have more white on their head. Besides waiting until they lay, and ideas on how I can tell them apart? The barred were supposed to be split from the cuckoos...
Thanks everyone.
