Cuckoo Marans X Breeds / 2023 Breeding

[KikiDeAnime]

I'm starting this thread to show off offspring from breeding my Cuckoo Marans to different birds.
Most will be the same breed while others will be breeds that I'll be pairing with him to produce meat birds from.
I'm really excited to see how well his temperament gets passed down.
I'll be sure to post lots of photos & videos of the offspring.

List of breeds I'm pairing him with:
-Delaware
-Black Copper Marans
-Blue Cuckoo Marans
-Buff Orpington
-Wheaten Marans
-Cuckoo Marans
-Black Australorp

I also have a Cuckoo Marans roo that I just hatched nine chicks from. They all have the telltale look of a barred chick, but my hens are Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, Black Sex Link, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Speckled Sussex & Buckeye. I’m super curious to see how they feather in, and will post pictures, too!

They’re only a few weeks old. Not feathered in yet. Still waiting. The barring seems dominant so far, though.

Last few days they’ve really gotten BIG!! Many of them seem to have sprouted much more feathers overnight. Barring definitely dominant.
