here is the most colourful one I have three others like this out of this hatch two with a lot less red and one that could pass for a poor coloured columbian rock

Even my SPPR x EE cross looks more Silver Pencilled than this guy :/

How old? What lines?

Probably around 5 months. Out of birds I bought from Guy Roy.

Joe is correct, this can't "just happen". The females weren't cleaned out before collecting eggs or a male from another bread jumped the fence.

Well it looks like my 10 "5 week old June hatched Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock chicks" may all be cockerel chicks. :/

Hopefully I will get a few more pullet chicks out of my 23 "1 week old July hatched chicks" to go with my 14 pullets from my "April & May hatched chicks" to grow out.

all of my hatches this year have been cockerel heavy, Rocks, Marans, Ameraucana, all have been along the lines of 3 or 4 to 1

I did good with my April & May hatch as out of 19 chicks I got 14 pullets but with my June hatch it looks to be going quite different. I guess my luck ran out with this June hatch. lol :/

Looking for barred rock hatching eggs. Can anyone help

why are only the males have the rose combs. I get the colour could be sex linked but I don't think rose combs are? I should have females with rose combs also.
