Barred Rocks?

[critterluv]

A friend of mine has a flock of Barred Rocks ,he got as chicks from McMurry Hatchery.I incubated some eggs for him,out of 4 chicks I kept only 1 has a single comb,the others has a rose combs.I thought BR's have single combs,Soooo??
Any ideas. They were hatched 5-28-09
Thanks

Barred rocks do only have single combs, But Dominiques do not have single, so you may have a few of those.

They are most likley dominiques. Domoniques have rose combs, but it is possile to get single combed sports. Did the stock they came from have any rose combed birds?

I'm not sure ,about the combs on the parent stock.But I will find out tommorro.

Both Roosters have single combs,some of the hens have rose combs,some have single combs.
Thanks everyone

Barred rocks are to have a Single Comb
Dominiques are to have a Rose Comb
McMurry Hatchery could be crossing the two breeds...
