So I have 2 roosters a Black Copper Maran and a Barred Rock although the Maran a couple months older he doesn't seem interested in any of the hens, so I have 1 black copper Maran Hen and was hoping to breed her with the maran rooster, but I think the barred Rock may be the daddy. Just trying to figure out if the male babies of a Barred rooster with a copper maran hen would have the white dot on head.
The 3 I've hatched have no dots, but one has a larger Comb and at 2 weeks is already getting its waddles. All 3 have feathered feet and all have a lot of white on chest and one is yellow and white chest. Hoping for no more roosters...
 
This one was also hatched 3 days before the next two so it will be 3 in 3 days the other 2 hours apart and will be 3 weeks in 6 days

They would not be sex-linked unless the hen was barred.

Too young to determine sex. Please post updated pics showing combs and wattles, at 6 weeks.
