Hello all. I am fairly new to chickens and have a silly question. Well, I have two hens and a rooster that are all bantams. I believe they are all old english game bantams, but different colors. The rooster is a black tailed white. One hen who is cuckoo colored laid two eggs and then an all black hen laid another egg and the black hen sat on all three eggs. So far two hatched yesterday and I am waiting to see if the other one hatches. My question is if I can tell what color the adult chickens will be by what the chicks look like? One chick is all black with a white spot on its head. The other is white with black stripes. Anyone know? Any help is appreciated thanks.
 
Black with a white head spot would be a sex link male from your cuckoo colored female. The black and white, no way to tell gender yet, sorry. The first chick will be barred/cuckoo like momma, the other chick may well stay black and white with those parents.
