These chicks came from a Partridge rock rooster and partridge rock and white rock hens. These are not to breed standards my any means but wanted some help on these and to see what breeds they could be. I think the brown ones look like partridge rocks maybe but the black ones have me stumped. I'm thinking they look like barred rocks since they came from rock parents but they don't have the yellow dot on the head like I read they are supposed to and then I saw black australorp chicks and that's what they look like but I didn't think you could get an australorp from two rock parents or I could be wrong? Maybe there was a recessive gene somewhere in the dad but 6 out of 8 eggs have hatched and 3 are black....Any help would be great.
