Chick identification help??

[LunaMarieWolf]

This chick was hatched in my incubator early this morning and I am having some difficulty finding out what breed it is.

I have a mixed flock but my roo is a Barred Rock. I know it's Mom wasn't our little Easter Egger or our Rhode Island Red (because of egg shell color). It was either one of our Black Sex-links or our Barred Rock hen.

No idea, you can’t really tell till they start developing feathers.

You will need to wait until it matures to try to figure out it's mother.

I'm going to go with barred rock as the mother. And cockerel for the gender

My guess is Black Sex Link SOLELY because it has white fluff where full Barred Rocks usually don't.

Knowing which is the mom even when baby is feathered is impossible. Either the baby is 100% Barred Rock or she is 75% Barred Rock and still barred so nobody will know.

BTW, that chick is a female.

Maybe if she will have gold leakage like a black sex link has or if her black barred feathers will have some reddish color to them

Sorry but its basically impossible to tell with what information we have.
Telling a double dose barred black from a single dose barred black is difficult to impossible especially without other sibling barred chicks to compare to. Also even if you could tell if it was single or double barred the info wouldnt wouldnt likely mean much...
Either its double barred so male chick with barred rock mother OR...
Its a male chick with sexlink mother, female chick with sexlinked mother or a female chick with barred rock mother.
You are just going to have to wait a bit to find out and even then you might not be able to tell for sure.

Here is a two week update from the chicks. I had 2 more hatch from the incubator a day or two after the first one hatched. They are all from the same mother hen and rooster. I have noticed two of the three chicks have white and black wing feathers and it is really confusing me.

The first photo is of the eldest chick. It doesn't have the white and black wing feathers.

The second photo is the "middle child" of the three chicks. It only has white feathers on one wing.

The third and fourth photo is of the youngest chick. It has white feathers on both wings.

I don't know if their feathers are white when they come out and then they get the barring. Or what. Does anyone know what is going on?
