What will my possible chicken crosses look like? - Now a Progression Post

[cluckingheck]

Does their growth seem like they’re on track or a little behind?

Dot - 34 days old ( hatched: Nov. 20th, 2020 )

• Still unsure on dad, mom is definitely an ISA brown. Looks like one of the black australorps are the dad

Pepper - 31 days old ( hatched: Nov. 23rd, 2020 )

• Dad is either Burt, a BR/RIR cross, or Atlas, a Barred rock. Mom is likely Tilly, my black star ( black sex-link )

Dot & Turkey BOTH actually seem sorta feminine now.
I know Turkey was before.

Lol, they are really confusing me. Here’s some more head pictures of Dot. Are leghorns used to make ISA browns? I’m not sure what all goes into the breed

It’s often, but not always, leghorn x RIR.

Do you think it’s safe to say Dot has some leghorn in them ( well, wishful thinking. There’s a lot of different white breeds it could be ) I don’t have any white chickens other than my leghorn pullets and Dot definitely didn’t hatch from their egg.

Dot seems to be splash, but wasn't bred from blue, so is WEIRD.
But yes.

Dot is dominant white. Most red sex links have dominant white due to their leghorn genetics. You can see it in the white tail and hackle feathers of the hens. When crossed with a black or barred chicken, the dominant white can easily take over.
