Ok, now with picture! RIR Roo?

[Fred's Hens]

The black chicks? you could assume an Australorp parentage, but if the legs have yellow coloration on the rear of the legs and they begin to have rusty/orange or red bleed through their breast and heads, then you could assume Black Sex Link of Barred Rock/Production Red heritage.

Guessing looking at non-specific photo. Good layers and quiet personality if BSL.

Heres a picture taken this morning of all 6. Any other suspects in the group? Thanks!

 

[sknight88]

So, at least one Rooster is the general consensus?

 

[smokeykk]

At least one!

 

[sdeneen2001]

the dark ones look like black stars - all girls. I agree with the consensus that the red ones are production reds with an "accidental roo"

Thanks Smokeykk So far he is quite so he gets to stay. See what happens, but my lil girl might be missing "Mother Hen" as she isnt looking like she anymore!

The suspect roo in the pic from yesterday does appear darker than the pics today. Who knows...some hatcheries do things a little different. I however do know that they are not RIR's.

Here is some pics of my RIR's when they were about that age.(slightly older)
