This baby is now 14 days old. First pic is 1 day, 2nd about a week and last and top is today. I was sent 25 of these "bonus" chicks with my cornish X. All 25 look identical. We want to keep 1 or 2 as roos.
Question 1-
Is there anyway to tell if they are RIR, Production Reds, or Freedom Rangers at this point? The hatchery carries all 3.
Question 2: does it differ in what the chicks will look like if I breed him with a barred rock hen, depending on what he is?
Question 3: IS it possible any of them are pullets? How could I tell?
Question 4: And if they are, what would I get when bred with my barred rock Roo?
This is the best forum online! Y'all are always so helpful and friendly. It is great appreciated. I have bred Labrador retrievers for 30 years and totally get those genetics but cannot seem to wrap my brain around poultry, yet. Im trying to make a chart for the children but I think identifying these boys is the first step.
Thank you for all the help.
