So in two different threads I mention that I got two mystery chicks hatched from a batch of what was supposed to be Bielefelders. The eggs were all roughly the same size, so my assumption is that the hen is a Bielefelder (barring gene) and somehow a Silkie or d'Uccle rooster (the only other breeds the seller claims to have) did the deed on one or more of the hens.
Now, both chicks have a white spot on the back of the head, but one is huge and the other is pretty small. Would you say this helps at all with sexing or is it a total crapshoot at this point? Here is the difference in head spots:
And I have confirmed the dad is one of the two because the one with the smallest white spots has feathering on the legs.
Thanks!
