Hello, I was just reading on cross breeds when I came across a few articles and posts that said dark skin was sex-linked.
I have a Silked EE rooster and an assortment of hens. I also have a Silked EE hen. That hen went broody and hatched one of her own eggs as well as two others. The chicks all have black skin, extra toes, and one had feathered legs. They are all 7 weeks old now. Does their dark skin indicate that they are all pullets? How does that work?
One is clearly a Silked EE like her parents, the other a Welsummer and Silked EE mix, and the golden one is a Delaware and Silked EE mix. I’ll have to go back and find better pictures.
