Sorry about that. Hope you understand what I'm saying. If your rooster shows evidence of double barring then 100% of the offspring, males, & females will be Barred. If the rooster shows evidence of being single Barred, then about 12% of the offspring will be Barred, & solid colored.

The chick you posted is a cockerel. If the Buff Brahma was 100% the mother, the color of the chick should resemble something like this. Since the chick you have is a male, that means the Barred Rock is the mother of the chick. This is a project Orpington of mine I'm using for example.

It's really hard to know for sure, the only way to prove who the parents are, is to breed again with the same birds.

Yes, it would be a rose comb.

Yes, I know the feather legged gene is dominate, Pti/Pti. My sister's Cuckoo EE has lightly feathered legs.

Could be possible. I thought maybe you did. Here's some comb genetics for you. Rose comb = R/R, R/r Pea comb = P/P, P/p Single comb = r/r, p/p (Recessive) Walnut comb = R/R P/P _ R/r P/p _ R/R P/p _ R/R (Four different combinations)

An EE could be the father too, they carry all sorts of crazy color genes, & sometimes feathered leg genes.

It's very possible. I hatched a blue Cuckoo colored chick recently from a Blue Wheaten, crowing bantam rooster, crossed with a dominate white silkie. So one of the parents must carry the barring mutation somewhere in their genetics to produce Barred offspring.

The chick looks to either have a rose comb, or a pea comb. Do you have any Dominiques?

The Barred Rock hen is most likely the mother. All barred chicks will be male if a solid colored Male mates with a Barred female. Female chicks won't be Barred.
