In my flock I have..HENS: light brahma, 2 EE, barred rock, black sex-link..ROOS: 1 buff brahma (dominant roo) and 1 mixed roo w/smooth legs. All the brahmas are from MM hatchery and the others were rescue birds from a mixed flock.

One of my hens hatched 2 chicks this week from a mix of eggs from my hens. I'm brand new to chicken genetics. Any guesses on parentage?

First chick: I'm pretty sure one, if not both, parents are brahma.

Second chick: This one has me stumped. S/he has smooth black legs. None of my chickens have black legs. S/he has a little white under the beak and a white butt. Not sure who his/her parents are.

I think you're right on the first one. As for the second I think the mama is a Barred Rock or a Black Sex Link, especially cause of the locations of the white. As far as the dad-
