What Breeds and Gender is This?

That one is a pullet. Mom is probably the barred rock or maybe the Wyandotte.

Thank you so much. I am so excited.

1 (white): red sex link (either gold comet or ISA) mix cockerel
2 (black): red sex link mix pullet (RSLs can produce black and red chicks because they aren’t pure for dominant white)
3 (barred): barred rock mix cockerel
4 (bearded): barred rock mix pullet

Thank you. An even split sounds good to me!

Anyone know if I mated the mixed barred rock cockerel with a female barred rock (not its mother), if they would produce barred rock chicks? If so would those chicks be sex links?

 

[Deezchix]

They would not be pure barred rocks. However, about 50% of them would probably look like barred rocks. The other 50% would be black pullets and cockerels with a single copy of the barring gene (like your current cockerel). So, any black chicks would be pullets, but you wouldn’t be able to tell which barred chicks are pullets or cockerels from hatch.

Thanks for the genetic info! Very helpful
