Hubs got these two gals at Fleet Farm marked Australorp. At 2 weeks we saw barring and knew they weren’t. Assumed we had 2 Barred Rocks but now at 7 weeks they have crests?? What do we have here?

Barred Olive Egger seems like a good guess. I guess you’ll find out when they start laying eggs. Fingers crossed they are females! A lot of hatcheries make sex-linked crosses by using non-barred males over barred females which makes the male offspring barred and the female offspring not barred. So hopefully you didn’t end up with one of those.Hubs got these two gals at Fleet Farm marked Australorp. At 2 weeks we saw barring and knew they weren’t.
