What are these?!

[TeriyakiChicken43]

Purchased as "Plymouth Barred Rock Fertile Eggs" and hatched under my broody girl Gladys.

Are they even BR or with the one black or are they all BSL??

4 weeks atm

Thanks in advance!

Interesting, may I ask what makes you say that. Im just after the more info the better. I have attached a pic of the apparent parents of the chicks. Well it was listed on the ad I picked them up from. Any ideas on genders?

The one with pink combs are boys.
They may be sure poorly bred, not mixes.

I agree that the solid black chick can't be a Barred Plymouth Rock.

If it ends up being a cockerel- neither parents are BR

If it's a pullet- there's a possibility the mother was a BR

Maybe they mixed up eggs, maybe they didn't know what birds they had fertilizing, who knows. Some people are dishonest, and some just don't know any better.

There could have been a rogue rooster.

Maybe just a late fledger? My Silkie cross kept shifting colors until she finally stabilized as a barred black and white.

I've heard silked feathers make it difficult to identify colors/patterns.

But as you can see from the above chicks, there's a distinct difference between the barred chicks, and the solid black. There's absolutely no white lines on it
It just isn't a BR
