Thought was a hen, now not sure

[samsnonna2048]

A hen of mine went broody the end of May. We tried everything to break her but she was determined. We have no roosters so a friend of mine gave me a few fertilized eggs from her flock. Dad is an Americauna, Mom was either a SLW, Buff Orpington, Americauna, Whiting True Green or a Barred Rock. I vent checked her a few times and came up with hen but now I'm not so sure. Does anyone have any ideas and who do you think her Momma is? This chick is 11 weeks.

It’s 100% a boy. Vent checking, if done incorrectly, is inaccurate and dangerous.

Definitely a rooster. When did you vent check him? Had he eaten before then? Vent checking does not work after the chicks have eaten.

Comb is too red to be female this early

This isn’t true.

Silver laced wyandotte? I could see that. I have had a few of those. Pretty bird! I'd keep it.
