Barred rock chicks

[ShrekDawg]

Blue band is definitely a male, it’s double barred. And those legs do look quite pink. Where did you get them from? If a hatchery or feed store, they do make mistakes. If a breeder or something then idk.

Got them from a local breeder, well reputed, knows her birds. I’ll take more pictures.

Oh okay they’re probably BR then

Their legs definitely do look pink though… here are better photos of Pink, Orange and Green. I’m confident enough that Blue is a boy I think.

Green looks boy too possibly. Update at 8 weeks. And the breeder doesn’t happen to have both Marans and Rocks do they?

I contacted her. She says they’re definitely barred rocks. She had a few birds that fell short of the SOP, mostly on leg colour, that she rehomed recently, but these may be their offspring. I’m not too worried about SOP, and these weren’t advertised as show quality birds, so I’m fine with that.

Ohhhh okay. That’s cool!

What do we think? From the top, girl, girl, boy, girl? I’m least certain about the last one.
