HI ! I had two broody hens this fall and one of my Barred rocks managed to hoard 3 eggs (long story) she hatched one and then left the other two so my very good always broody silkie took over the nest and hatched the other two. I know who the dad is but not sure who the actual momma is, two of the chicks do look like they could be part barred rock. Now the hard part since they are part Silkie it is so hard to tell what they are I think two are Roo's and one is a Pullet looks just like my Grey silkie so cute! One was born on Oct 6th so it is 14 weeks now (so far no crowing) then 2.5 weeks later the other 2 hatched so they are around 12 weeks also no crowing so far. I have attached photos any help on gender would be great! I am hoping for hens as I do not need another roo my spring hatch and chick purchases in 2022 ended up with me gaining one hen and having to rehome 9 Roo's I have not had great luck getting hens this year! I am guessing that 2 are roo's as they have developed a little comp however not sure if that indicates male or is it because they are mixed breed? Also any guess on what breed momma is? I believe the one that looks like a full grey silkie belongs to my silkie hen (dad is a silkie mix shown in photo) The other two I think are barred rock mixed with my silkie mix roo
