Had a hen go broody and hatched 4 chicks. I only have one rooster and he is a hatchery grade buff orpington. Two of the chicks are from what is believed to be black Australorps but more likely black sex-links.

It was my understanding that black gold chicks would be females and mostly buff would be males.

But I have one chick at 5 weeks that is looking very much like a black and gold cockerel.

Please, help me with chicken genetics.
