What breed is my "barred Rock look alike" ?

[Fred's Hens]

It's the lighting.

She is definetly NOT a roo.. as my rooster mates her all the time.... She started out looking exactly like my other two barred rocks. Then her black got darker than the other two. and lately she is coming out with all this white... these pics were taken yesterday and today she has more white in her tail feathers... They are changing fast. She is very friendly. Not laying as yet, but neither are most of my brown egg layers. (got my first brown egg today from one of my black star hens) So do you all think she IS just a barred rock, with a fault in coloring?

OOOH, Okay

Didn't realize your chicks were old enough for this yet. Thought they were only about 14-ish weeks. Good to know.

I was thinking her tail feathers were getting long, but, I guess the chickens know whether they're male or female.

When my Red Sex Links were growing, they changed color very quickly, almost weekly. Maybe she is just showing something that was in her heritage that doesn't usually show up.

You can sure pick her out of a crowd, can't you? Weird things happen with hatchery birds, I'm thinking this is one. She's sure striking.

Whatever she's mixed with, she's really unique and beautiful!

She is unique and very beautiful. And very sweet too. Now we just have to think of a name for her... =)
