Any females?

Any chances for a female in this group?

Male is a barred rock
Females are bsl, red sex link and a bsl/barred rock mix.

The rooster has been giving me cockerels all summer >.>

Seems to me I read that with chickens the sex of offspring is determined by the mother. Genetics always makes my head hurt, though. Anyway, check it out before you start thinking about a rooster reboot.

Wait what? That makes no sense to me XD I've always heard for animals it's the male. Lol.
Roo is an asshole that needs to go anyways

What might make the 2nd one female? The spots always confuses me

The smaller spot indicates that this chick has only one copy of barring. Females can only have one copy, males can have one or two.
