I bought this chick from a hatchery and it was mixed pullets at first I believed it to be a black ausie but now its getting bars but i think its more cuckoo????? What do you all think???
 
They have alot of barred breeds! Yours looks sort of like an ancona.
 
I know they do so im stumped... I have had barred rocks in the past and actually had some chicks this year and these dont look like br... there tails are somewhat upright but im not thinking ancona because the chicks looked identical to black australorps or minorcas or all black chicks look... these had the white under the beak and around the eyes at hatch but were not mottled like ancona chicks. The legs are yellow/orange with heavy black on front and top of legs... Does this look barred or cuckoo to you guys or is it too early to tell???
 
sunny & the 5 egg layers :

It looks like my black australorps. I will post some pics of mine tomorrow.

well see i thought so too until it started getting the barring... it could possibly be a production black aka california grey judging by the tail but do these mentioned have black feet or are they yellow?? Thanks by the way for the responses!​
