I do have some White Rock chicks that hatched also (all white) along with a few RIReds and some California Whites but most of the chicks are black. Just cannot figure out where the black comes from. And yes, the rooster is probably hatchery stock. I got him a while ago from a lady who did not...
No, but they are the only ones penned up so I gather hatching eggs from them. They have been separated for over a month from the others. The only black chickens I have are hens.
I just hatched out chicks. One pen has a RIR rooster and 3 Leghorn hens along with a California White hen. The other pen has only 2 White Rock Roosters and 2 White Rock hens. How did I get all these black chicks with the white underneath?
