We recently hatched 15 chicks and one looks like a BR. We have a BR hen and my guess our BR chick is a cockerel (2 solid roos). 3 of the chicks are from our neighbors eggs (she gave us to keep). Could this rooster, of those 3 eggs, depending on the hen, have passed a barring gene so a chick looks like a BR?
I'm almost sure this is a cockerel (bottom pic) at 1 month old but want to check before I try to rehome him. I don't want to rehome a "possible" pullet. I'm trying to learn about genetics.
