BR rooster??

[maymaychicks]

Hi All,
I hatched my first chicks from my BR Rooster and both BR hens and BO hens...so they all look like Barred Rocks. However I have 2 that look different. I am wondering if these are Roosters or the cross with the BO hen since the under part is yellow. This one also has lighter legs than the others. Thanks!!

It's going to be tough to tell which cross it is until later. The ones with Orpington mothers should have white legs instead of yellow, but there is no guarantee of that. I would give it time.

Thank you! I have been reading that if you breed a Barred Rock Rooster the chicks all come out barred. So not the case huh. Ok, well time will tell, thanks.
