And I'm having fun seeing how they grow, although of course I have a few responses like "the chick did WHAT? I thought we had that figured out correctly!" :lau I agree, if you have all possible leg colors in males and in females, sexing by leg color is not going to work. Brahmas do have a...

I think there is a good chance she will keep that pattern, or one that is pretty similar. I've seen some adult hens that looked very much like that. I think barring would show across the black feathers if the chick had barring, but I'm not entirely sure. The chick does appear to have Dominant...

I think he probably does have barring, but I'm not positive. I'll tag someone who has more experience than I do at recognizing barring on colors other than black. @MysteryChicken do you think this chick has barring? (If the picture doesn't work right: it's the first photo in the post I quoted...

I do not see barring in that picture. Of course she would not be barred, since she is a pullet, but those definitely are some interesting feathers. I'm a little bit unsure on this one. Barring on gold can seem like it fades in and out, rather than being crisp lines, and I feel like I can...

So the Brahama cross one is smaller, has the pea comb, and has more feathers on the feet, right? That is... odd. I agree, a barred hen should not be able to produce sons that have no barring. But I agree that combs looka rather large. So you've pretty well ruled out the "other mother" or...

Yes, his daughters would probably lay green eggs rather than actual blue, but I agree about not knowing what shade of green. In general, the ones with mothers that lay dark brown will be more likely to lay dark green, and the ones with mothers that lay light brown will be more likely to lay...

Chocolate: You probably selected choc (the normal form is Choc+) :) Yes, they certainly can do that! That is very interesting, to have that many females. Sometimes random chance does produce an odd clumping of genders. I have also read that some hens produce mostly male or mostly female...

Chicks with chipmunk stripes can grow up to have the Duckwing pattern, but they can also grow up to have other patterns. Some examples that I have seen personally: Dark Cornish are double laced, but have chipmunk-striped chicks. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/dark_cornish.html...

Hello :frow That's a nice closeup to show the patterning in the feathers :thumbsup It will be a good reference as the chick grows, and we try to make sense of what is going on here!

Wow, things have been busy! They sound like nice birds :) If you want a project for studying genetics, they certainly can provide that, but it's not the easiest starting point! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing their development as they continue to grow :) Hmm, definitely interesting...

You definitely have a lot going on there! Beak color of chicks: I'm not sure if the genes that control dark vs. light foot color can also affect beak color, or not. I may have to go do some research on that... Oh, here we go: https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/dark_cornish.html Light feet (yellow...

Then it sounds like that chick should definitely be female :love Given the genes that are usually found in Ayam Cemanis and White Leghorns, I agree that he is probably not the father of a chipmunk-striped chick. That one may be able to produce chipmunk-striped chicks. It is possible for a...

I do not see any barring on those chicks. So if you are positive that one came from the barred mother, then yes that one must be a female. Barring is still barring, whether you have an Easter Egger in the mix or not. Barring should be visible in the feathers by now, if the chick has the...
