I was incubating all the eggs from our mixed flock, and got a very unique chick. It was the result of a black cochin roo crossed with a rhode island red hen.
The chick hatched white with black chipmunk marks, and has grown into a white and black roo with very pretty coloring. We also have a pullet that looks the same. They are not barred, though.
The strange thing about it, is the rooster grew faster then his brothers. He weighed 5 lbs when they weighed 3!
I plan to cross this rooster and pullet and see what happens. I only got two this way out of about 15 of her eggs, I think.
I will post pictures in a little while.
