Hmmm...Leghorn in the woodpile somewhere? Not my rooster's chick...

[fatpossum]

I have Barred Rock hens, one Barred Rock rooster, and a half Barred Rock/ Game rooster (long story there)...

I recently had a hen go broody, hatched 4 chicks (5 eggs)..

3 of the chicks, now 4 weeks old, are normal Barred Rock looking...the 4th looks to be white or cream color...Definately NOT Barred Rock color...not albino, either.

There are no other chickens close...my ladies are well fenced in....
so it couldn't have been a travelin' man...

Is it possible that there's a Leghorn or some other white breed hidden in the "family woodpile" back a ways?

Or can A breed of one color sometimes have chicks of another color..?

I've had the BR chickens for 8 years...never had a whitish chick ...

You needed to post this in breeds, genetics and showing.

I have no idea.
