Which one is my mommy?

[needmorechickens!]

This is me and my siblings hatched a few days ago...

This is my daddy...

Which mommy belongs to which of us? These are the ones that my human has in with my daddy...

Lulu (white rock)

Jetty (RIR)

Macy (Barred Rock)

Thanks for your help,
The little red spraddle legged chick

Looks to me like the two dark ones came from the Barred Rock and the reddish one came from the RIR.

I am going to say the RIR for the red one and the white rock for the other two. My reasoning is because the red one looks like a RIR and for the other two I say white rock because I think the barring would be sexlinked. Maybe someone else will come with better reasoning, lol.

I think the barring is passed from the dad, not the mom.

With a barred mom and non-barred dad, only the male chicks would have barring (although the female chicks would carry the gene on one of the the x chromosomes). So if they're from the BR that means you have 2 pullets.

Yeah.. I guess its very possible they are off the white rock.. After all. i thought i saw "black" (barred rock). But those are blue. which could come from the father "Hence.. the blue red/white laced? color"

The one in the back is more blue and the dark one in front is more black and looks like a barred rock chick...I will try to post a separate pic later.
Thanks for the feedback!
