So we hatched this chick (by we I mean a Buff Orpington Hen)






I have now idea what kind of chicken it is... We have Buff Orpingtons (2 hens, 2 roosters), 2 Splash Andulusian Roosters, 6 sexlink red hens, 2 Black Australorp hens, 8 rhode island red hens, 3 Barred Plymouth rock hens, 1 white leghorn Hen, and 1 Light Brahma mix Rooster.

The egg that this cute fuz came from was a darker brown egg.

I was just wondering what people think is in this mix..
 
I'd say 99% says one of the Splash Andalusian roos are the father possibly BO being the Mama

this chick looks to have a pea comb, am I wrong? if so that limits it to the brahma mixed roo since he is your only pea combed bird (unless your rir are not the single comb variety )
 
Which breeds have solid black eyes? Out of my chicks, only my Australorps have black eyes. The rest have lighter color irises to their eyes. The barred rocks have black, as do the Australorps. I am no expert at this, and I know that chicken eye color genetics are not well understood, but maybe that narrows it down some?
 
When he looks to have a single comb.. I am interested in what he/she will loook like when older...
 
We have hatched 5 Blue/and white chicks, one didn't hatch all the way and died. His/her eyes, nose, and mouth bled.

I will put up pictures of the 4 living ones later today.

I believe that the father is a Splash Andulusian (sp?) the mother could be an australorp, RIR, buff orpington, red sex link, or barred Rock. I don't think Barred Rock only because the color of the egg was darker than that of a Barred Rock.
