Crowing
All chicks that have a barring gene have that white spot. It's a dominant gene that does not 'hide'. A bird cannot be a carrier for it. It is always expressed. Some have just a few bits of white down, others have very large spots. But it's always there. And the person you got them from has got to have a Barred Rock hen or two.
These chicks are black sexlinks. The females are all solid black, with a bit of white down under the throat. The two boys have the head spots. One just has a tiny smudge. The other has a more noticeable spot.
