Awww. Thx for the info. Any advice on possible sex of the chick?

 

[Roo5]

Unforutently it’s too young to tell.

Looks more like a Black Jersey Giant chick to me. Or an Australorp.

I would be totally thrilled to get an accidental australorp! Really nice birds!
You will have to wait until it's older to know if it's a he or a she.

I'm from the USA but living in Mexico and the language barrier is sometimes tough. ALSO, they don't really "identify breeds" as far as I have learned. They just look at me like, I'm a silly gringa, when I ask about the breed. LOL. It's like an Easter Egg hunt tracking down chicks...

Yes...head spot indicates presence of barring genes.....no spot, no barring....chick shown in first post is not a br

Mine is the little one with spot. I read smaller the spot it's pullet. Does mine look pullet?

With my Barred Rock crossbreed project, about half the birds bred true. The rest are interesting genetic throwbacks. I got a couple with all black heads and yellow faces.
Here's Fifi.

And here she is today at 9 weeks of age.
