Hello!!!
smile.png


A friend of mine gave me 16 chicks. They're 2 weeks old . All of the chicks have the same father and different mothers.

possible breed combinations:

(a) Ameraucana roo X Blue Splash Marans hen
(b) Ameraucana roo X Cuckoo Marans
(c) Ameraucana roo X Ameraucana hen

How do I know which chick comes from which mother? Can you guys help me figure if out? Thanks!!

-----------------------------------------
GROUP 1 - All have feather feet




-------------------------------------
GROUP 2 - gray/silver. yellow-legged is bigger than ALL other chicks, legs non-feathered

400


-------------------------------------------
GROUP 3 - cream/white, legs non-feathered



----------------------------------
GROUP 4 - three Ameraucana for sure, plus one unknown VERY light gray, legs non-feathered

I'll take a stab at this- not an expert, but I know a bit:

The feather foots likely have maran mothers, as that breed can have feathered feet, but Ameraucanas do not.

Spalsh roo x blue barred maran hen = Half splash chicks, half blue chicks, males barred, females not barred, may have feather feet
Spalsh roo x Cuckoo maran hen = All blue chicks, where the boys are barred and the girls are not, may have feather feet

For Ameraucana crosses, it would depend on the hen- could be a variety of colors, but won't have feathered feet. No matter what you should be seeing some really pretty eggs out of the girls in this bunch when they get older!
