I hatched about 30+ eggs the people who I got them from sent me a picture of the rooster. She said she has a lot of hens and she doesn’t know all their breeds. So what could the hens be if this is their dad.

Very difficult to say, but we can make guesses.

1 probably has a Rhode Island red mom.

2 probably has a barred rock or cuckoo Marans mom, and it would have to be a cockerel due to sex link properties. Unless there's a barred male present.

3, 4 all the blue and black ones are likely to have blue or black mothers. Australorp, Andalusian, Sapphire Gem, and Jersey Giants are all possible mothers.

5 the splash chicks probably have blue mothers, and the same breeds from the last comment all have blue varieties.

7 has feathered legs, so maybe a black copper Marans mom or olive
egger mom.

8 has coloring similar to the father, so not telling with that one.

Once they grow up it may be easier to tell. But they're all healthy and beautiful, and that is what's most important.

I love all my babies 🥰 was just curious what the possibility could be because of egg production. I’m probably going to have a good amount of boys. That’s been my luck lately, but they are all still so adorable.
