Thanks! Haha, I'm smarter than I thought.
Do you know if there is a 'tell' on the white chicks down from that cross, to tell at hatch if they inherited barring?
The white chick hatched the 2nd already has black spots showing in its new wing feathers, so it is a good bet that it inherited...
Thanks again! I truly would have never thought of buff laced being in his background.
So all the white offspring could also have that scattered barring?
He x that barred hen...
All the male offspring will have barring.
It could show as regular barring (black w/ white headspot chicks)
or white...
Hi Everybody! I inherited this Polish pair and can't figure what the male is (or color-cross he is).
He 'looks like' leaky white, but has a few barred feathers scattered around. Then I thought he might be splash barred.
-nope- I just hatched the first chicks from the pair and got what...

Your new little ones are about 3 and 4 weeks old now (I think you picked chicks from 2 different boxes?).
The chicks I have that age are...
Sure, you can sell mix-breed chicks. It is nice to know what the cross is and what color eggs to expect, etc.
I don't usually cross breeds unless I have a goal.
Example, I made super-tiny Naked Neck Green-Eggers by crossing Serama with NNGE (you might have seen a couple chicks in the boxes...
Hi!!!!! I thought so : )
The one far right is a Naked Neck Silkie (some people call them showgirls). The others are Naked Neck Green-Eggers. The middle one is a Fm (fibromelanotic) Naked Neck Green-Egger.
edit: I don't know what color the one on the left will end up being. Those...
