Is this a isa brown chicken?

Could be a second generation Red Sexlink. If you breed a Red Sexlink rooster to a Red Sexlink hen I'm pretty sure they all come out red.

In my project I did many years ago I wanted to see what breeding the ISA Browns, what the chicks would look like. White was the dominant gene. The brown ones and the gray one in the first picture are males.

Guess I was wrong lol. Thanks for the info @cmom.

I did quite a lot of experimental breeding years ago. It was fun to see what the chicks would look like.

Were you selecting mostly white ones for your project? Or were they really that high a percentage of white birds? (I would have expected about 50/50 white/brown in both sexes.)

I was told this is a isa brown x chicken but to me it looks like a rooster!

Looks like a Buff Orpington X Rhode Island Red cross Cockerel.

It's what you were told it is in my opinion..

You may be correct, it didn't happen with my experiments. It all depends on the males and females used. I did a project with Rose Combs. These are females from the same hatch.

The chicks were from ISA Brown male and ISA Brow females as in the picture I previously posted in this thread. Those were the way the chicks hatched out, mostly white. I wasn't trying to get white just that it happened.
