We successfully hatched 2 chicks on Easter.(it was a small batch of 4 eggs for our first time hatching) it was a plymouth barred rock hen and what I think is an Easter egger rooster. He's our only rooster. We did hatch a RIR hen egg and our rooster but I can tell it's deff a RIR just by the color. My question is about the spot on the barred rock chicks head. There doesn't seem to be one. I thought it was a dominant trait of the barred rock? She/he(hoping for a she!) came from a darker brown egg, so hoping for a decent coloring. Here are some pics. And mom and dad!
