i am very confused

[hailie16727]

hello i have been breeding barnevelders since january and i’m not sure why this has occurred and i don’t even know how to explain i will upload pictures tomorrow. i have got a splash rooster and double silver laced hens and every time i hatch i get blue laced red barnevelders, for whatever reason i gave my friend some eggs from my flock and they hatched out with white stripes all except one which was like the normal ones we had been hatching . i incubated back to back and hers hatched in between and mine came out yellow with barnevelder chick pattern (just like a normal splash) but then also had white stripes and then one came out normal. there is a chance they could be out of my lavender auracana rooster but all his chicks have black legs and these ones have the yellow legs. if anyone can explain this i could just be chance but i have hatched a lot from this flock and never seen this, i could just be chance but i dint understand

Let me just break that down. I have a splash rooster and Silver laced barnevelder hens is it normal to get different colours. just confused because u have never hatched a splash chick in my 9 months of doing this and then suddenly hatch 4/5 splash

I'm mostly waiting for pictures.

i will upload pictures tomorrow.

I think that will make some things much more clear.

every time i hatch i get blue laced red barnevelders, for whatever reason i gave my friend some eggs from my flock and they hatched out with white stripes all except one which was like the normal ones we had been hatching . i incubated back to back and hers hatched in between and mine came out yellow with barnevelder chick pattern (just like a normal splash) but then also had white stripes and then one came out normal

Did your friend hatch any other eggs around that time? Or could they have mixed up which eggs actually went into the incubator? That would be one of the easiest explanations: a mixup about which chicks came from which eggs.

Also, I see you mentioned the hens and the rooster, plus another rooster. Do you have any other hens as well? Mixing up eggs can be easy to do, and it saves time to double-check that before thinking too hard about the genetics involved.

there is a chance they could be out of my lavender auracana rooster

Please include a picture of him too, if possible.

sorry for the quality of chick photo but that’s how this exact hen with the exact same parents looked when she hatched(i did not incubate her eggs as her and her sisters only started laying last week). and then you can see my hens and roosters (obviously i have more hens they all look like this and then i have some australorps mixes and they lay cream eggs). and last photo is the chicks i hatched yesterday
