This is my first post so my apologies if this doesn’t beling here!

My husband picked up these chicks from one of his friends from work. Little is known about their conception lol...
The mom is some kind of Brahma/RIR and the dad is uncertain but they think he could have been one of their bantam roosters/RIR rooster and a few other breeds from a total flock of 30...

They are much lighter than my (now older) RIR girls at that age. They’re about half and half with some having some feathers on their legs and others not....random black spots in their head & striped wings..I know it’s a shot in the dark but any guesses??

Seems to be strong Rhode Island Red genetics in the mix. Feather legs could be anything from Cochin, Marans, Langshans and any other featherleg breed. I would rule out Silkie because the chicks don't have crests or five toes. It'll be interesting to watch them grow!

I found a pic of my RIR at that age and the wings are identical, they’re just way more yellow/blonde in color and then add the random spots lol. I interested to see as well!
