    These chicks were a barn yard mix.....I think this one came from a Silkie egg and the father is a frizzled Cochin.....he/she?

    What's throwing me off is the darker coloring....they are awfully dark for roos.

    As of the Silkie/Cochin chick....crap shoot [​IMG]

    These chicks are from my daughter's school hatch and all were dispersed between friends.

    As the two Barred Rock crosses are, well...crosses, I wouldn't be too concerned about the unusually dark color. The rest of the chicken says 'Roo' to me... just so much comb and wattles and pink already.
    The silkie/cochin: I have absolutely no idea. Not from that picture at least. Can you maybe show us a better one?
    Very cute, though, whatever he/she is [​IMG]
