Cuckoo Marans hen bred to Self Blue Ameraucana Rooster What Color will their chicks eggs be?

[Shellybob]

Those will be some pretty crosses!

Thank you for replying.

 

[Shellybob]

I agree.


If the rooster is pure for barring, then ALL chicks should be barred (not 50%).


Yes, correct on both points.

So you are saying they can be sexed at birth then? Solid what color?

That's correct. Sorry. My mistake.

Black.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say, sex linked means they can be sexed at hatch. If you cross CM female x AM rooster the males will be barred when they feather in, and have a dot on their head at hatch.

CM hen x AM rooster will give you black females and barred males. They will be sexlinked, and should all lay olive eggs.
