Hello Everyone! I am new to the forum and have found such a wealth of information here. Looking forward to sharing and hearing of others experiences. We have 4 Children, 3 Cayuga Ducks, 1 Green cheek conure, 1 Blue Cane Corso, and 7 Happy CHICKS which are suppose to be Black Australorps. I confirmed with the person who we got them from that the Rooster is a Rhode Island Red and the mother, who also brooded them for the first 2 weeks, is a Black Australorp. His other hens are BR's.
Our question is whether any of them SHOULD be showing a few white bars on the sides of their chest. All of them however have the black feathers with the beetle green sheen on their backs. They are approximately going on 4 weeks.
Three of them also seem to have dark reddish brown fuzz on their heads? Are they potentially roos? Also, they all have combs except for one. The one who does not have a comb is also the only one with a long tail. She/He is almost fully feathered with black/green sheen feathers. The other 6 have stubs.
Any input will be great!
Thanks!
