Hey y'all! I'm new to breeding chickens. I have a buff orpengton roo in with my Rhode Island reds, buffs, golden comets, barred rocks, and silver laced wyandottes... today was hatch day...van anyone tell me who the mom may have been?

It's a barnyard mix, too early for gender.

Post another picture after it dries off and gets fluffy, and it will be much easier to tell.

I think the mother is probably a Barred Rock.

And if I am right about a Barred Rock being the mother, that chick should be female. Buff Orpington father x Barred Rock mother is a pairing that makes sex-linked chicks: sons have a light dot on top of their head at hatch, and have white barring in their feathers, while daughters do not get the light dot or the white barring.
