Rockford, Illinois!

[1876 Farm]

My BCM rooster and Barred Rock hen created a nice black hen, which I named Chicken Little (she looked just like a barred rock female chick at hatch). I took 6 eggs from my hen Chicken Little and placed them into an incubator, hatch day was last Friday. I was expecting all chicks to hatch black, but instead here's what I got (so far)...

3 - that resemble a barred rock hen:


2 that are brown,,, any guesses what breed they could be? Obviously my BR and/or BCM roo are not pure.



1 that is total crazy looking....


Any guesses on what other mixes could be in my BCM x BR hen?

I am at my desk in downtown Rockford right now reading this forum. Otherwise I live outside of town about halfway between Byron and Winnebago. I am always looking to find other chicken enthusiasts in the area because you never know when it might come in handy and it's fun to meet new people, too.

I have more pictures o my webpage but here is a picture of the rooster (by the way there is 4 hens 1 rooster and one pullet) Send me a private message if you are interested.

Hi I'm pretty new to the site and googled Il and was excited to know there was a Rockford forum. I grew up in Rockford my whole life but about a year ago my family and I moved to a little homestead outside of German valley. This is my first time owning chickens, I have 2 lavender Orpingtons, 6 Rhode Island reds, 7 Black Sex ninks and a grumpy Barred Rock Rooster. They are all about 14 weeks now and it's been one heck of a journey.

I'm looking to add to my coop before fall hits. I am interested in maran, Orpingtons or Delawares. I'd prefer them to be around 14 week old pullets. Any one have some? I'm willing to drive for them. I'm looking for 3-4
