Cross breed/ sex link question

[New2TheCoop]

Ok I hatched out 4 out of 9 eggs under a buff Orpington hen (it was her & my first time hatching eggs). The orp hens are with a dark Brahama rooster. 3 chicks are black with a yellow belly. And 1 is buff.

They aren't sex linked are they? Or do I have three boys & one girl

Here they are side by side

No. I would work the other way around though.

The chick down is strange for the cross. You should have hatched striped back with a buff ground color or dark brown backed chicks with red faces.

Did you color correct (touch up) this photo any or does the black chick actually have a red comb already?

I was looking at the combs too, they look weird. Can you post pictures of your buff hens and the brahma rooster? Do you know for sure the buffs are orps and not gold sexlinks?

The red is because they were picked on. I put them in with some 1 week old ducks, but had to move them after a few hours.

Dark Brahama's

The yellow chick does have the "chipmunk" stripes on its back. I believe their faces are only red from being picked on. The black chicks beaks are black close to the face, and yellow to the tip

They haven't been edited.

Thanks! That's a great thread. I sure hope it's 3 hens & 1 roo.
