Just curious. I have a BLRW roo and some SFH gals. Has anyone had some chicks with this combo? I would imagine the colors could potentially be quite fascinating.
Thanks. I agree that time will give better clues. It will be interesting to see how they actually turn out. I had a couple of runts that didn't make it :hmm that were slightly different, so who knows???

I'll see if I can get a close up on the GLW. That kiddo is hard for me to get a pic of! I guess if all else fails, we get roo singing or a mysterious egg appearing out of (his) heiney in coming weeks!
I do have to throw a "silly meaties" pic in too!
I'm leaning towards roo:
Barred rock? Boy/girl? Kind of in between sizes on the comb compared to an obvious roo and an obvious pullet of same type and age:
This was the obvious roo before passing away:
Boy/girl?
I think GLW? Leaning...
