Barnyard Mix and Barred Rock chicks

[Donna Jeanne]

Hi. I have a barnyard mix rooster and barred rock hen. Some of their chicks have tan and black barring. Has anyone else had chicks like these? If so, do you have pictures of them as older chickens? TYIA

I think you are going to have to wait to see what they're going to look like. It's pretty unlikely someone would have a mix exactly like your rooster. The chicks are interesting-- I would not have expected them to be that color from those parents. The rooster probably has some interesting color genetics.

My Easter Egger chicks looked similar, but I cannot say exactly because EEs come in different colors. The chick in the middle most resembled them and the second chick without the black down its neck..

Thanks. I have only been able to find a couple of pictures with similar looking wing patterned chicks which ended up being partridge barred rocks. I was wondering if maybe one or both of the chickens had recessive partridge genes so thought I’d ask to see if anyone else bred similarly. Kind of a long shot, but thought it’d be worth a try. . Yeah, I find it strange that they’d produce this pattern. Thank you!!!!
