Hey there, loving all my recent impulse buys from TSC and got a little too excited about some straight run chicks I decided to take the gamble. I have two burning questions. First is breed. They were in a mixed bin labeled as cuckoo marans (the others were salmon faverolles, which I bought too of course) but I know that the day earlier they had “blue Plymouth rocks” in the same bin. After looking at cuckoo baby chick pictures, I’m not so sure they’re cuckoos! They’re a soft gray and first feathers are not barred. Anyone verify?
Also, one of each of the two types developed very long wing feather a bit after a week old, like the rest of my pullets did, but then two of them had shorty stubby wings. The stubby winged birds are also yet to get any tail feathers, meanwhile everyone else is sporting them. Could this be a clue to who is a rooster?
Photos for context! Thanks for geeking out with me! Love these little floof balls & seeing them feather out!
