This chick has an interesting pattern..

I have a strong feeling they have the Easter egger genes because of the beard. I was told the australorp was the roo for sure, but I’m not so certain of anything. Turns out they both have crossbeak I didn’t notice it on the bearded one until today.

I agree about the beard probably coming from Easter Egger.

Both crossbeak? That's disappointing

I’m guessing this chick is one of the part ameraucana chicks. Interesting pattern on its face. The roo is australorp. I was told the hen could have been australorp, australorp/ameracauna mix or ameraucana.

Anyone seen one like this and could tell me what kind they think it is? Bottom left in last pic

Could it be a rooster? I had some bullets that I picked out and I picked one cuz it resembled a hawk turned out to be a rooster!

It likely is. If the father was a black australorp like I was told, then the chicks with barred pattern should be a rooster. But these are just… odd presentations

Yes, definitely is disappointing. Honestly, I still have them just to see what they look like when grown and if they are roosters
