late this fall one of our Golden Buffs went broody and hatched 2 chicks by way of our Australorp roo. To my surprise their feathers have come in and they are white! I know golden buff roosters are white so does this mean they are roosters? Some what else related, we had a barred rock hatch and raise 3 chicks from the same rooster and 2/3 are roosters. Are chickens like roosters in that the father determines sex and this rooster is 4/5 in throwing crockels? He's a nice rooster not agressive toward us nor our young kids but those are not good odds
 
Hopefully some one else more informed chimes in, but I'm fairly certain that the hens genetic contribution determines gender, not the roos.
