What should I expect?

[Lamaremybabies]

I'm away on vacation and my father is watching my animals for me. He just contacted me saying he found that one of my hen has stashed a bunch of eggs away and is now broody. I told him to let her have have the eggs to hatch sense she went through all the trouble to be able to. Anyways my only rooster is a white silkie and the eggs are barred rock eggs and gold sexlink eggs. He breeds all of them planty so I'm sure I'll end up with more chicks than expected. What will these barnyard breeds look like?

Not sure there is a "for sure look" you might have to wait and see.
I'd like to see pictures once they hatch.

Okay. I'll definitely post pictures when they hatch. I've been looking around and it seems like people who have had the same or similar mixes had a wide veriety of different colors and looks.

Good luck on the hatch.
I'll add this thread to my watch list so I can come back and see how they turn out.

Okay great! I can't wait to see how they turn out either. I was planning on hatching polish created in the spring but I guess I'm not anymore.

Can you post pics of the moms and dad now?

It will depend on what genes your white male has. He could be any color or pattern, or combinations thereof, under that white.

Juliet-Barred Rock (is the broody) she got in a fight when she was a baby that ripped her skin off from the bottom of her neck to the top of her head which is why she has that weird crease on the back of her neck.

Almonzo-White silkie rooster (he's the dad by default haha)

Oh okay. Do you know if because both types of hens are auto sex that the babies will be auto sex as well? or because the dad is the white silkie probably not?
