Which one is that?? Lol 😂 I know the Plymouth Rock is a girl… which one is the Wyandotte x ?? Coz I have no idea
I see no Plymouth Rocks.
I see a pea combed barred mutt, a rose combed gray mutt, and a crested silkie cross. The rose combed gray mutt is your only female.

Ok.., well the barred is Plymouth Rock x the silkie is a silkie x Arunacana and the 3rd I’m not sure about… I’m still not sure which one is the Wyandotte you were talking about…
 
I will try and get some better photos of their faces/combs and of their feathers as I’ve been told by members in my local poultry club that the only possible male is the silkie x Arunacana (the one in the middle in the 1st photo)
 
How do you know the Barred Rock isn’t a Dominique? I have Dominiques, and I can’t for love or money tell the difference between the two. I know, in theory, Doms have rose combs, but I have some single-combed ladies. I for sure can’t see the difference in the stripes. Apparently Rocks have cleaner lines, whereas Doms are more mottled.

In any event, your Barred looks more or less like my Doms did at that age — all are hens (though Lady Constance does have that tail…).
