wheaten Marans would not have a head spot. it can be hard to see a spot on a yellow chick.

I hope that is the case. The Rhodebars that hatched Saturday had head spots that were very clear.

Thanks. I hope that one is Wheaten

No Headspot can be seen on Wheaten Chicks, thats why Delawares and Euskal chick cant be austosexed at hatch

three of the chicks are rhodebar... With no head spots

And do your three rhodebar chicks also have the chipmunk striped look? If they do have a clear chipmunk look to them that is a dead give away that the have the wild type e+ allele at the E locus.

just wait for them to be fully dry... the yellowish ones in the middel could may very well be very light colored males..... the yellow one on the top right is not a rhodebar... thats for shure

So, if the middle three are the rhode bars then you have two cockerels and a pullet. although, I'd be willing to be corrected by someone experienced with actually hatching rhode bars.
