Who's My Daddy (and who's my mommy)?

[chickendreams24]

Nope nope nope guys sorry but favorelles also have 5 toes.

Also what color eggs did these chicks hatch from?

Chick 1 is more than likely half Favorelles. Mommy could be EE or Barnvelder maybe one or two others I'm not familiar with Polish very much but I think maybe golden laced polish is an option. I can't tell from the photos of the chick looks crested.

Chick 2
What color is your silkie?
I'm guessing has a leghorn Mommy
Daddy I'm not sure on.

Chick 3
Some form of EE golden lace polish cross I'm guessing as the chick seems to have a crest.

Of course any or all of these chicks may surprise you and reveal mpre about their parentage as they age and feather in.

2nd is Probably GL Polish x Leghorn

She said the chick has a peacomb.

EDT: From personal experience with cochinxPolish rooster and hen, the combs of that cross would be mostly straight, but with a small, slightly deformed-looking y-addition at the end.

EDT2: So pretty much the only possible parentage is Leghorn x EE

Chickendreams:
The eggs hatched under a hen. I don't know what they do with the shell once the eggs hatch - I have not found one shell.
The Silkies are solid white, solid black, or white with a tan/golden tinted. The chicks that have hatched from silkie eggs have all been white or black/blue (mostly black/blue) with black skin.

Sylviethecochin:
I could be wrong on the comb, but from pictures someone sent me of chick combs and it looks like if the comb is tiny then it is a pea comb.

I will try to remember to update this thread with new pics in a few weeks.

Thank you

Please keep pictures coming over the next month or so ... we LOVE a good mystery!

From the (parent) chickens you have listed, it sounds like you have the options: v-comb, straight comb, v-straight comb, pea comb. Of those four, your picture looks most like a pea comb, but just to be sure, can you give us a nice, high-definition picture of just the comb? Sometimes, it can be hard to tell, with chicks.

Incidentally, there are three other types of "flat" chicken combs I've seen. Rose combs are flat, but tend to extend back a bit and are just a bit lumpy. Pea combs have three rows (like three, separate, entire straight combs right next to each other, but very short and small) and are mostly flat. Strawberry combs are just flat. Walnut combs (silkie combs) are like strawberry combs, but wrinkly.

Do you have pictures of your polish? Your colors sound Fabulous!

Small problem with a high definition pic.... I only have my phone and the chicks are wiggle worms. I will look online and see if I can find one that looks like mine. The look straight, narrow and have tiny little ridges along the top.

As for pics, I have one of the GL Roo and Blue Hen.

That definitely sounds like a peacomb.

It does not look big like this one, but the chick in that pic is 3 days old.

That is a straight comb
