Barred Rock? Or maybe a hybrid?

[jpayne615]

These are my roosters, tentatively named The Colonel and Original Recipe just in case something happens. I was told that they were Dominikers, but clearly they aren't. Does anyone know what breed they are? I suspect that they may be a hybrid, as their hackles have bits of orange and gold and their tail feathers are a beautiful iridescent green. They still retain their barring on the lower half of their body and in their hackles and tail feathers. When they were younger, they were fully barred which is why I thought they were Doms in the beginning. Thanks everyone!

Definitely not pure bred....

Look to be crossed. The barring is passed on even if one of the parent birds wasn't BR. They also have the look of a second generation Black Sex Link which is 1/2 BR, of course.

They're just mixed breed cockerels with one barred parent. You could say they're sex link males, but it really doesn't matter which parent was barred.
