Ok this is this roosters first hatch, he is from a silver splash rooster * and a BA/EE (75/25 per breeder). He is black in the shade and blue-green in the sun! I call him Slick.
My hens
1 The BA/EE above, with this black EE rooster
2 His sister from the same mix. (ya ya I know, I just got a new rooster for fresh DNA)
I expected to, and did get black chicks!
3 Red EE/FBCM
These are chocolate brown.
4 GEM (Green Egg Machine) CL/WL, purchased under this name.
These chicks are yellow, so far feathers look yellow, but I think they are white.
5 Blue Ameraucana, said to be full blood from someone that shows them. This is the silver splash roosters mother.
I think I have black chicks from this mix.
6/7 EEs from the silver splash and other EEs
So, where did the black chick with white spot on its head come from? It and 2 others already look like boys, but they dont have this spot, and only 1 is black.
Or could this be just a random spot?
*I should note, I suppose, the the silver splash roosters daddy is a Bantam Silkie Frizzle.
