    Is this considered barred?

    Here's its older brother. Same pattern, but a month older. I wonder if that pattern is gender specific, or does that not matter?

    Is this considered barred?

    This chicks father is a Novogen Brown rooster. Its mom is a cross from a Splash Marans rooster over a silver leghorn hen. The chick came out a silver and black chipmunk and is now getting what appears to be barring? Or is it just some random coloring? I believe its color scheme is heavily...

    I cant sex these Bielefelder crosses!

    Update! Here are pics of chicks 1 and 3. Chick 2 died about a week ago for reasons I dont know. It appears chick 1 is a runt and Im leaning towards male on, but chick 3 I'm on the fence about, although Im also leaning male. I believe today they are exactly 2 weeks old. Any thoughts?

    I tried vent sexing, but I couldn't tell the difference. I guess I'll be waiting a few weeks or so.

    You're correct, they are sexlinked, but I was hoping since they aren't barred that the barred hen to non barred rooster would come in to play.

    I cant sex these Bielefelder crosses!

    I have 3 chicks from a pure Bielefelder hen and a pure Novogen Brown rooster. They are 24 hours old in these pics. I know a barred hen and non barred rooster make sexable chicks at hatching, but I can't figure these out, possibly because the rooster is white. There are 2 pics each of the 3 chicks.

    Show me your bielefelder crosses.

    Please help me sex these Bielefelder crosses. I know a barred female bred to a non barred male makes it so you can sex them immediately, but these might be an exception. They are from a pure Bielefelder hen and a pure Novogen Brown rooster. They are about 24 hours in this picture. 2 pics each of...

    Girl or boy? 3 weeks old.

    There are other cockerals in this hatch that have red waddles and combs. However, my flock is pretty inconsistent as far as these traits go due to so many different breeds and crossbreeds.

    Girl or boy? 3 weeks old.

    The first 2 pics are the possible father and mother combinations of the chick in question. Obviously, the rest are of the chick in question. Couple #1 is my Olive Egger and a Red Sexlink. Couple #2 are a Novogen Brown (Red Sexlink) and a mutt who is the daughter of the black rooster in pic #1...

    Pic 1 is from a Splash Marans rooster and Silver Leghorn hen Pic 2 is from the same Splash Marans rooster, but a barred crested Olive Egger Pic 3 is an Easter Egger I got from Tractor Supply. Pic 4 is from a mutt Olive Egger rooster (my profile picture) and the barred crested Olive Egger hen...

    Ever seen black and white chipmunk?

    🚨 New development in the case..... I just had another dark chipmunk hatch from a blue egg, which means it's neither of the hens I thought! Now I think it's from a blue hen that is from a Splash Marans rooster and a Silver Leghorn hen. Silver Leghorn would explain the duckwing, I guess.

    Ever seen black and white chipmunk?

    I'm not sure how to explain this one then. It sure looks like a barred male with that dot on its head. I know it's maternal grandmother was barred.
