What breed is my gamefowl

[ijcastillo]

Hi guys, I got her free from a guy that said she was hatch. Can she be pure hatch or is she mixed?

She has light barring, so she's maybe a Bulik Hatch, or possibly a Dom Gamefowl.

If not a Dom X Hatch. Hard to know for sure.

Oh awesome! You think if I bred her with a grey hatch theyd have offspring with the dom pattern?

Only if barred

If the male is solid in color, you'd get sex links. Males being barred, while females are solid.

Here's my lightly Barred pullet to show the similarity in barring pattern.

But only if the mother is barred.
I'm not seeing barring on her. I know it could be hard to see white barring on the light areas, but I would expect it to be visible in the black of the hackles and tail feathers, like it is in Delawares, and I'm not seeing it there either.

(And if she is able to be barred without it being easy to see, then her sons might be the same-- but it's not very useful for sexing if it cannot be seen!)

I was referring to the hen he wants to breed to the rooster. There's barring in the hackles. Just not tons. There's also some light barring in the tail.

The males should still present with some sort of headspot at hatch.

My girl's most unusual feature is zero barring in the breast feathers.

I can get better pictures later if needed.

So was I.

OK, I sort-of see it in the zoomed-in photos you're showing. Thanks for pointing it out!

Good point. I was thinking of being able to see it in the feathers, but I'd temporarily forgotten about the headspot.
