I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would share a pic of my half-sider hen. Parents were a Golden Neck d'Uccle and a Brown Red Modern cock.

"Lacing" is the color that goes around the edge of each feather. Splash is the term for a color variety that is mostly white with some blue "splashes". If blue birds (genetic code Bb) are mated together, they throw a percentage of ‘off’ colours in their chicks, the probability being 25% blacks...

Late bloomer is a pullet!

He's a rooster.

Do you have pictures of your chickens?

She looks to be a Barred Plymouth Rock. Their legs will fade out after they have been laying for awhile.

I would say with a comb that big and red at that age, it's a rooster.

Interesting! Very pretty birds.

The color is Golden Neck. She looks like a d'Anvers, but she should have a rose comb.

They look like Serama.

It's possible that it's a cockerel. The roosters do develop more slowly. But I wouldn't say for sure at this age.

If it is only 13 weeks, then I would think it is possibly a cockerel. Do you have pics of the other two?

Speckled Sussex pullet

They could be Silkie x something smooth feathered mix. That would explain the dark skin, beard and 5 toes.

Looks like a pullet to me.
