We just had our broody Buff Orpington hen (Linda’s Stewart) hatch 6 chicks. She is in a coop and run with one Speckled Sussex roo with 10 Isa Brown hens and 7 Speckled Sussex hens. From the color of the eggs they all looked like they were laid by Isa Brown hens as our Speckled Sussex hens lay a lighter color egg and not as large. 4 of the 6 chicks have a chipmunk pattern and two are light in color with a few marks that are more rusty color like an Isa Brown chick. Is it possible to have this color difference if they are all the mix between the two breeds?
