Great breed combinations

[KeriT]

Differnt breeds of chicks have differnt colors on them. When they are adults they usually will have gotten rid of their baby feathers and grown a new coat with a differnt color. (The chicken world can get very confusing) Well my barred rock rooster is actually a pure bred. I got him from this site actually, with 5 others who are differnt breeds from him.

These chicks are in my adult run they have their adult feathers already (they are around 13 weeks now) Does that mean this is the color they will be or do they go through another color change before adulthood.

Oh.. Well they will go through one more feather change before they actually are adults, but the color that they already have will stay the same.

As you talk about black and white, I am interested in black/white lakenvelder hen and a mostly solid black with green sheen and solid white mane faverolle for a laying bird with light pink eggs and gentle disposition but free range savy. I have a blueberry farm and also like the favs don't scratch much or jump so the berries will be safer than say wyndottes that I now have. Any ideas? Dorking has been explored and still in consideration. Any ideas?

Ok, thanks

This is the chicks I was describing (ignore the buff on the left lol) left front is the one with the almost white head and neck, darker one front right(I think he is a roo-not sure yet) and the one back right.

Here's another pic

Ohh.. Well by the looks of them they all look to be mixed breeds accept the buff. And that is there color that they will always have, when they get around 2-3 years they will molt and stop laying there eggs in this process.

They seem to resemble pics I have seen of BR roo over BO hen. What do you think? Sorry to keep bothering you with this, you just seem to know more about it. Thanks

Actually four of them look like a barred rock white leghorn cross and the fith looks like a purebred buff. I don't think that picture you got is correct, because if you go on to google and search barred rock white leghorn cross, pictures just like that come up. And none of your birds look like they are a buff and barred rock cross. It's fine.

This guy only had barred rocks and buffs orphingtons. One rooster and several adult hens of both kinds. Nothing else I walked in with all his chickens. And yes the one buff I think is full (my nine ur old picked that one lol)

I have looked online a lot and that pic keeps popping up but only for hens. The roo combo (BR roo over BO hen)looks different. They have red barred feathers
