Photo's of Backyard Chick "mixes"

Hello1 I have been attempting to play "who is your daddy" with some of my chicks. I have a buff orp roo and copper maran roo that bred with a barred rock and possibly a black sex link, Does anyone have any copper maran cross (of the father) they are willing to share so I can possibly see what these little darlings will look like?

I have a Black Copper Marans cross hen, but I'm not sure if her mother or father was Marans though. Also I'm not sure what the other breed she was crossed with is, it was supposed to be Belgian Bearded D'uccle but since she doesn't have feathered legs I doubt it.

Oh she is beautiful! What color are her eggs?

This breed calculator can help:

Anything barred will be from the Barred Rock hen, and will be sex linked with barring being roo's, but it looks like the females will be black no matter what the roo, so that won't help you with that.

Run the calculator to see the rest.

Thanks She lays eggs that are normal brown and so perfect that she had the best eggs at the fair!
