Lets Play......Who's your Daddy?????

[cparian]

I hatched out some of my own eggs to make my own "designer chicks", it is so fun to see the different combinations you get when you mix breeds! This is totally for fun, I don't desperately need to know, & I have my own opinions but... wanted to see what everyone else thinks too.

So here are the candidates:

Bachelor #1 is my White Rock Roo-The Colonel

Bachelor #2 is my EE Rooster-Popeye

Bachelor #3 is my GLW Roo- Lee

Heres the babies now 6 weeks old:

Baby 1 on the left is from an egg from a Lt Brahma Hen egg, I'm thinking the White Rock is the dad on this one. Baby 2 on the right is also from a Lt Brahma hen egg-Who's the daddy?

Baby 3 is from my EE hen egg, the hen is a solid golden color & lays green eggs with purple spots- Who's the daddy?

Baby 4 is also from the same EE hens egg-I'm thinking the White Rock Roo all the way cuz of the color.

There are two pictures of baby 4 to show (her?) feather on the back, very pretty baby. I think she is from an egg from a RIR hen.Who's the daddy?

What do you think?

Thanks, it's fun to hear what others think. I think they are gorgeous too but I may be biased.

So who do YOU think the daddy is?

I think on Baby 1 the colonel is the father due to the white color I think it is a Roo due to it is not feathering in as fast as the others

Baby 2 I think the daddy is popeye, it has the same shade of gold popeye has & Lee has a Rose comb whereas the baby has a single comb like Popeye. No idea on gender. This one has me confused.

Baby 3 I'm thinking Lee because of the yellow legs, not because of the feather coloring. I think this because the mother has green legs & Popeye has green legs too so I would assume any of their offspring would have green legs ruling out Popeye.

Baby 4 (my favorite) I think the Colonel all the way due to the white coloring, I'm pretty sure its a hen & from what I understand hens get their coloring from their daddys genes, she did get her mothers green legs though. Pretty sure I have a hen here.

Baby 5 I think is Popeye, once again I'm almost sure it is a hen, her lacing is the prettiest shade of grey & Popeye has grey lacing on his chest.
