Black legs black beaks

[woolymammoth]

All of my chickens at yellow legged and yellow beaked. I started hatching chicks out of them this morning and 2 so far out of the 10 that have hatched are black beaked and black legged. My chikens are RIR BO Doms amd BR. I have RIR Dom Roos and 2 silver ducking banty Roos and a buff roo. Where did the black legs and beaks come from

Sounds like a sex link cross. If you have a solid rooster over a barred hen you can get chicks like that. It looks like that would a possibility in your flock, right? If so, those are pullets.

The RIR and Barred Rocks will give you black sex link crosses (maybe the other, too, but not sure.) Cool, isn't it? You also probably have some chicks with white spots on their heads, which would be your males. They'll be barred. Here is a link to a thread about it. Scroll down the first post to the Black Sex Link section and you'll see a picture that probably looks like your chicks.

Your black barred birds carry extended black, so the chicks will have black.
