Gotta love barnyard mixes.

Let's play a game with this grey one. Guess the mix. Hint is the white mark should say it's a girl. Spot looks bigger than it is in the individual pic

My guess: Barred Rock x Ameraucana or Easter Egger

So is Barred Rock x EE correct?

I'm surprised you got that on the first guess

 

[AltonaAcres]

Wow! I am too! The fluffy cheeks and the head spot were a giveaway though.

I'm hoping this one survives because I'm curious on what she will look like grown up. That black face mask she has is cool looking

If you're saying what I think you're saying, I'm afraid that it's not right.

Male BR over EE gets all barred chicks.
EE over female BR gets barred cockerels, unbarred pullets.

There is no cross that would get you barred pullets and unbarred males.

Unless the EE was also barred, it doesn't work for mixes, I'm afraid.

Ah okay.. no the ee was an ee mix with a buff orpington. Dang it. I thought that was correct. I had been sexing them like that for a friend and had 98% success with the ones that I sexed for her XD.

If you were almost always right with the last batch, maybe it does work for those two specific chickens. Sometimes, genetics are weird. Keep an eye on this batch and see if it was a fluke or not.

The barred rock were also to bsl and iso brown.
I'm not counting the ones that were from the mom that was also barred mix since you said that

Ee yep on both
