Did I accidentally get all male Barred Rocks?

[Raubkatze]

Six weeks old now. From top to bottom, Marmalade, Toast, and Tuna the rooster with one of the Australorps making an appearance as well.

Breed guesses are everything from Diamond Dutchess, Oliver Egger, Sapphire Sky, to just really badly bred Barred Rocks.

Thanks for updating.
It's fun to see how they are growing!

And one of Nugget just for fun. She's one of my three Australorps.

I bet they are Olive Eggers! Love their legbar puff!

With those feathers standing up on the head behind the comb, definitely not a Barred Rock, not even a badly bred one. Of course that still leaves plenty of other options to wonder about

I would be pretty excited if they were olive eggers. My husband now wants some chickens that lay blue eggs, and I'd like some that lay green. I know my Australorps will lay brown.

They have now been moved out to old summer kitchen, when summer kitchens were a thing. It's not heated, but it has a lot of windows that almost act like a greenhouse and holds on to heat pretty well. I figured this was a good way to introduce them slowly to the transition of being outside. Hoping they will be outside by this weekend.

Marmalade is turning very grey. I do hope she holds on to her floofy topknot.

What a gorgeous accidental purchase! I am a big fan of the head floof as well! Fingers crossed her egg is a beautiful green for you, also. Will stay following this until we find out for sure!

They can raise and lower it too, which freaked me out a little bit when I first saw them do it!
