Still not sure who the mama hen is 🐓

She would have similar coloring to a black sex link chick if the barred rock was the mother, black with a brown face.

so the RIR is definitely the mother then, right?
(Or the Brahma, but that rules out the BR)

Would the feathered foot gene be dominant if it was the Brahma?

She would have some feathers on her feet if the brahma was thebmom and is a purebred.

This was at one day old, see the feathers? This is what made me think Brahma at first. But they aren’t really there anymore.

I think she would've had one or two feathers... the fact that shes mostly dark and no white or feathered feet makes it for sure not the brahma

The mother is definitely Brahma. I'm not too sure why she would lose the feathered feet over time though...
Edit: actually - I shouldn't say it's definitely the Brahma, I'm no expert

I just posted a photo below of the feathers we saw on day 1.
