Cross bred pullet

[doublebow]

This is another chick that hatched out a few weeks ago here. This is my third post today trying to figure out some things about all my chickens! Y'all are all so helpful! I think this chick is a BOxbarred hen. So some kind of sexlink. I think anyway. And a pullet. Right?

I have a RIR roo and BO roo, BO hens and barred hens. (Two dominiques and evidently three cuckoo marans.) So this chick is a cross of any of those.

Yes, that would be a pullet

If it was a rooster from either of those crosses, then it would have some barring coming in.

Thanks. Any idea on which roo is the daddy?

The roos are RIR and buff orp? That wouldn't have barred chicks unless they are crossed with the barred hens. The BO hens would throw pure BO chicks, and some that look like a cross between RIR and BO (not as dark as a RIR chick, but not as light as a BO).

I would say that it is a cross between the BO roo and the barred hens, if it were RIR I would think it would be darker red. And I also think it's a pullet

Thanks! I really liked the way this one turned out so i was trying to figure out who her dad is. Maybe I can hatch out more like her.

Whoops, thanks shelley. I didn't see that they had BO hens. I only saw BR
