Dominiques or Barred Rocks?

[k8miyagi]

We bought 6 chicks from the feed store two weeks ago - they were all supposed to be Doms, but two of them look like they have a single comb.

Gemma (maybe Jim? her tailfeathers stick straight up a lot more than our other chicks):




And Dot:




The other four have combs that look like this:

i don't have anything for the breed problem, but for jemma i have some questions:
does she (or he) like to stand on the waterer, does she stand taller then the rest, and how large are her feet?

Does Dot have whitish legs? If so she could be a cuckoo Marans. Gemma is a barred Rock. The other 4 are Doms.

Hetherfeather, yes to both... Gemma/Jim does like to jump on the waterer and seems to stand up straight. She/he is always the first one to greet me too. I think his/her feet are the same size as the others though.

Keesmom, thanks - Dot's legs are the same color as all the others. I'll try to take a pic. Gemma and Dot are the only ones with any white feathers next to their eyes.

If they're yellow then she's a Rock also.

i think your jemma might be a rooster, but i whold'nt put him up for sale just yet, id' wait until his tailfeathers are noticeable, and then try.

Its too young to tell gender with them, but I don't see any obvious rooster traits. The ones with the single combs (with the bumps) are Barred Rocks, but the ones with the rose combs (flat) are Dominiques.

The first three pictures appear to be barred rocks. The last one looks like it has a rose comb, so it's probably a dominique.
