Rather than beating around the bush for hypotheticals, I'll say what I've got going on here
I have a hen that lays blue eggs, she has feathers on her legs and is notably barred.
It's as if she's a chochin x barred rock x EE, or perhaps a barred maran x EE
I incubated one of her eggs, fertilized by a brown leghorn. (Honestly, just for curiousitys sake, and because she's from my original flock and getting old
So with her having a barred gene, is it safe to say that any chicks of hers would have the barring if they were female? Or because she is such a mixed breed, would barring not be a reliable way to sex her offspring?
Her chick hatched with partridge color & feathery legs. Male?
