Barnyard Batch of 9! (Part 7)

There could be some Dominique blood in there...he has single barring, pink feet and brassy leakage.
I have Dominiques.
My girls are just balanced differently. Their heads are a different shape. View attachment 2493439Yours has a head that reminds me of a Wyandotte.

Yay! It’s odds Doms!

How do you have so many mixed boys?

Seems like it's 7-2. I hand picked them out of a straight run of 30 or so chicks from a guy on CL. If any of them could have been sexed from birth then that's shady because they were advertised as straight run but I picked them myself and I got 2 hens so....blergh.

Just lucky I guess? It was a Craigslist buy as I just needed a quick fix for my guineas. I'm not sure if any of these breeds are able to be sexed at birth. If so that's on the guy I bought them from but he had a box of about 30 chicks and I handpicked 10 just aiming for a few that looked different from one another.

I see only one purebred...so no sexing at hatch.

Ok, I was wondering because it was so one-sided with the males.
