JUNE - JULY HATCH-ALONG!!!!!!!

[Mixed flock enthusiast]

I think so? I'm going to guess #3 is half white leghorn because it is yellow with a few black spots. Probably #1 (black with white dot) is half brown leghorn...? But I can't find anything that looks like him/her online.

Black with white head spot should be barred.. Barring is dominant so one parent should be barred... Any barred parents possible?

Awww! Is that a barred mama and barred baby?

The baby came from a white egg So it's anyone's guess at this point.

The only rooster I have is Easter Egger, he isn't barred. The only hens I have that lay white eggs are white leghorn, brown leghorn, salmon favorelle, and polish. I have no clue what's going on.

Here’s a young wheaten from the breeder I got them from.

Are the hens all purebred? Have a picture of th EE roo? I’m just curious - I spent a little time trying to figure out the genetics of the color and combs of our barnyard mixes with an ER roo too!

You'll probably have a grand time with the hatch I'm going to attempt next then! I just set some eggs from my mixed flock to see if the young frizzle roo I just rehomed was doing anything when I wasn't looking, lol.

Oooh! Frizzle!!! What color was he? Sounds fun!

They’re dark brown. Some wheatens are as dark or darker than black copper.

He was Buff. I posted some pictures of him over in the August hatch-a-long. He was so darn sweet! He was pretty young though. Under 5 months old. So it's really an experiment to see if a rooster that young can even cover his bases. Lol
