My barred rock hen was sitting on my black Japanese bantam pair eggs, the chicks from those eggs are the 2 smaller ones, one is all yellow and one is yellow and black, (the other 3 chicks are leghorn/barred rock). So I am wondering if these really are Japanese chicks, or would be silkie roosters have bred my Japanese hen? They would only have been around 3-4 months so I didn’t think I’d have to separate them yet... any thoughts?
 
Those are Japanese chicks. The black and white one is a black Japanese. The yellow one is a mottled, so your pair is split to mottled.
 
Thanks! That’s good to know! I just expected them all to be black!
