I have NO idea what breed this is. This breed is a cross between a Rhode Island Red (dad) and Australorp (mom). Any clues on gender? The chick is 4 weeks old.

The coloring is hard to tell with the pictures but the feathers are red and black. The black has almost a greenish sheen. Very, very pretty. Feathers came in evenly.

Is it possible that this one is the Easter Egger? It looks like it might have a pea comb and green legs? If so, I think it's a girl.

Fyi, all your barred birds will be cockerels from the mix you're describing........a red roo over barred hens gives sex linked chicks.
