How did I end up with this?

I have A new Hamshire rooster and a new Hempshire Hen Also Rd., Island red hens and barred rock hens. What in the world made this one? Haha who's it mama hen?

Barred Rock hen and New Hampshire rooster. That is how they make black sex links, but they use Rhode Island Red roo, which is similar.

Oh ok that's interesting! Another thing I just realized today is all of the barred rock/ new Hampshire hens came out like sex links and the Roos look like barred rocks.

the chicks from the new ham and barred rock are going to be sex links. pullets will look like the one above and the cockerels will be barred
