Hi all,
Not sure if you can help me yet, but I am hoping to try and determine the cross breed in the chicks I just hatched last week (as well as sex if possible?). I know that the rooster was a barred rooster (I want to say barred rock, but he has feathers down the side of his legs, which passed along to the baby chicks). The mother I am unsure about - I think it was a Buff Orpington, but could be any one of the 30 chickens we own (we have just about all of the standard egg layer varieties including: New Hampshire reds, columbian, rhode island red, red-sex link etc.) PS: ignore the bantam hen in the pictures, she was just the brooding hen.
They are yellow with just a few brown/black spots on their backs and the feathers on the sides of their legs.
Here are the two babies on day 1
and day 3
I will post new pictures tomorrow of them at one week old as well as a picture of the rooster.
THANKS
