Golden Comet Hen with a Barred Rock Rooster

[Lhoward42]

just to see what our chicks may look like I had a friend hatch out some eggs in her incubator. I gave her a couple of each: golden comet, jersey giant, olive egger, amberlink, and a bantam type. The rooster is barred rock. They hatched a couple days ago. As expected we got a lot of chicks that look like the barred rock. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see how the one that looks like a golden comet will grow out! We will be keeping it and another chick that I think MAY be the jersey giant cross. The other four I’m giving to my boss who wants to restart a flock for egg production. Will update with pictures as these two we keep grow!View attachment 2490322View attachment 2490323View attachment 2490324View attachment 2490325

Did you keep them, how did they grow out

What did those yellow ones end up looking like? We bred our barred rock rooster with our golden comets and with some other barred rock hens, some of these ended up looking like full barred rocks (as in your picture) and some are yellow with a couple of spots (similar to in your picture). Wondering what these yellow ones will end up looking like!
