Black Austrolorp × Buff Orpington roo

[junebuggena]

Think I already mentioned on a previous thread, that rooster is most definitely NOT an Australorp. He's got yellow skin, which means he's either a Jersey Giant or a mixed breed. The most likely mother is one of the Reds. The Orpington, Australorp and Sussex hens would produce white skinned offspring. The Barred Rock hens would have passed their barring to any male offspring. With those breeds eliminated, that just leaves the RIRs.

There is also a Black sex link in the picture. Are the bottoms of the rooster's feet yellow or pink/white? I am wondering if he is not a Jersey Giant.

Junebuggena As mentioned before, you have A LOT to learn. It would be a good idea to ask questions, not make statements when you show time after time that you know very little about something. If the Rhode Island Red was the mother, the pattern would be different. More than likely, the bird would look solid black. I am thinking the black sex link is the mother. The other possibility is a Barred Plymouth Rock. And barring is not always obvious in the offspring.

These are all roos scarcely old enough to be juvenile delinquents they do chest bumps and display quite a bit to each other not really interested in calendering the older rooster

Just curious, but why is the title still Black Australorp x Buff Orpington, when he is for sure not that. Also, this would be more appropriate in the "What breed or gender is this?" section. Of the birds you show, i would guess his mother may be a black sex link, and the male may be silver, and have yellow skin, or at least be heterozygous for it. The long feathers you keep mentioning ate saddle feathers.
