Ah the two mottled ones are purely gorgeous, and the splash ones have gone to a new home already, they were snapped up by a local farmer friend of mine.

I do question the pure breeding or not. This is the latest pic of the one I held back aged 2 months now. Very black, with beetle green sheen on its back and would agree with you folks...its a roo. They had such different feathering and think the poor gal I bought the eggs from received stock sold to her as "pure Barnevelder". Frankly, would be ok with me... my purpose for hatching them was produce a chocolate colored egg layer

Both chicks turned out to be roos

this slow feathering one now is getting the green sheen and pointed neck. Oh well, 2 other chicks hatched lately. If feather sexing is a possibility, they both are pullets. New chicks>>>>
