I have a bunch of Phoenix chickens. I have BBRed and silvers and a couple mixed colors that came from BBReds. My rooster can be a possible father the the mixed colored and BBRed babies. I didn’t get all of them as my silvers are being raised by my silkie hen so they aren’t too friendly right now. I believe I missed one of the BBRed babies as well! I have more of my questions on the silvers as they just look a bit dark and they’re supposed to have Salmon chests but these look like they’re either getting grey or black? I bought these chicks from a breeder and should have made her show me the parents but she wasn’t very willing so I didn’t press the issue.
BBRed #1
I believe this is a boy
BBRed #2
Girl and my most accurate female
BBRed #3
Female too dark of a chest
BBRed #4
I’m thinking female. Mixed color but from BBRed parents. My number one favorite!
BBRed #5
Thinking male has a super dark chest but could just be an inaccurate colored female still waiting on how this one grows.
BBRed #6
Thinking male but could be female
BBRed #7
Not sure on gender mixed color from BBRed parents.
Silver #1
Definitely male look at that comb! Starting to get a black chest.
Silver #2
Thinking female has grey chest
Silver #3
Also thinking female has grey chest.
Silver #4
Grey chest but looks to also have some black coming through still waiting on these to grow out
Are my silvers growing out right? Am I crazy to think they’re dark? Please help me on how I can make my Phoenix babies more standard! These all came from breeders not a hatchery
