What color are my mixed chicks?

[Sadness Child]

I do not know if this is the right thread, but I have been hatching eggs from my mixed flock, and 2 have hatched, and one will be dry by tomorrow morning.
I want to have an idea of what the adult color of my chicks will be. A note to keep in mind is that I had a Blue Jeresy Giant cockerel, and separated and culled him 2 weeks before putting the eggs under my broody hen, so there is a very slight possibility that he could be the father, but I strongly believe that the father is the Buckeye cockerel

This chick has a mother of an Australorp, and a Buckeye father.

This chick's mother is a Blue Jersey Giant, and the father is a Buckeye

This picture is dark, but this chick has a chipmunk pattern.

The first is a cockerel, second is a pullet. Adult pattern can vary!

How can you tell the sex already?

How do you know?

 

[Sadness Child]

The last chick hatched, it is identical to the Blue Jersey Giant Buckeye mix, except the pattern on its back is fainter. Here is a better picture of the first Blue Jersey Buckeye and the Austaleye.

@TheOddOneOut How do you know the sex of my chicks?

 

[TheOddOneOut]

I’m pretty sure bc at least for the first, the BA mother x Buckeye father = red pullets, black cockerels.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Hmm. Actually, it seems that it wouldn’t work that way, it won’t sexlink.
Sorry, didn’t mean to misinform.
They are such cuties.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Yup, genetic calculator says so. Sorry all! I’m no genius, apparently.

2 are girls and 1 is male. I used the ever faithful method....flipping a coin!
