What breed are they gonna be?

[1maria100]

I have some eggs hatching soon from my Rhode Island Red hen and we have a Barred Rock rooster. I'm wondering what breed they are considered? I'm pretty sure they are not sex links because that is a RIR roo and a BR hen... or is that right?

Somebody help me out please

They'll just be mutts.

Not sex-linked, no.

Alright!

Any idea on what they look like?

They'll all be barred, but with some reddish coloring on the breast and/or neck and shoulders.

Sounds pretty!

I'm happy with whatever I get!


Thank you very much!

Well, rhode island red rooster and barred rock hen makes black sex links aka black stars or black rocks.

But the hen has to be barred to make sex-links. The OP's roo is barred, so no sex-linkage. Barred with reddish leakage.

I know, but I was saying maybe they will look similar to the black stars.

They aren't going to be a breed. They are going to be barnyard mutts.
