Sorry, to be clear Poppet is the legbar mum to Cruella. Poppet is Pic D, and Cruella is pic E to J. Cruella is supposed to be Poppet and Cluck stocks baby. Do you know if Blue splash can actually have very dark splashes, almost black?
Also, would you expect 2 such different looking chicks from...
Okay, so a weird one.
We have a male who is supposed to be pure Marans (Blue splash) he is called Cluck stock. When I bred him back to a BCM, we for two blue pullets, so far, so standard. He came out of a dark Marans egg (see pic of him with his egg as a baby, PICS A and B). See him now (PIC...
This is what I cannot understand, the only boy in there is Cluck stock. She has the hairy feet of a marans and the crest, birth colours etc of a legbar, then this amazing pattern popped up. However,
Thank you. I literally do not understand. Some of what I read said blue splash could be anything...
I am sorry, I don't know if this will work but if you get a moment please see my earlier post. I really need someone that has your knowledge to give their opinion...
I am sorry I am very confused and nowhere close to as knowledgeable as you on this topic. I wish I could direct you on my post I wrote about this as I am so confused with this gorgeous lady I have hatched! Let me try. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond at all! β€οΈ
Obviously, that could be a male trait, look for other Obviously male signs such as saddle, hackles, comb and wattles size, colour etc, leg size. However, I have a female Welsummer, head of one of my flocks, she is in with 5 other girls and q handsome boy called Cluck Stock and 2 smoking nuggets...
Sorry to hijack (as it's such an old thread, I thought I would give it a go) but could you get a sex link from a Blue Splash marans Sire and a Pure CCL dame? β€οΈ
Thank you for replying, is everyone certain this couldn't be the baby of Splash Marans x Crested Cream Legbar, he is literally the only roo in that flock! π
The odd thing is that, when he fertilised 2 of my BCM eggs I got 2 Blue Marans, see pics. He also definitely came out of a Marans egg. So it made sense that he was in fact a Blue Splash Marans. Sorry, this is really confusing for a novice!
Thanks guys, stupid me, I should have given that info. So here goes- This bird is 10 weeks old for definite. She looked Chipmunk when born- Please see pic. I own all possible parents.
Dad has to be- Cluck stock and 2 smoking nuggets- Please see pic, I thought I knew he was a Splash Marans...
Hi Guys,
Help needed. I was certain that this darling's parentage was Father- Blue Splash Marans and Mother- Pure Crested Cream Legbar. Therefore, I thought is was Sex linked at hatch and chose to keep her as Female. However, from the research I have done, it seems she could not have that...
Oh wow, amazing news! So they may look like my bluebell, 1 just has more copper leakage, I'm assuming that is a bad thing with Blues. Also, does anyone know what you get if you breed a splash male with a Blue pullet. Ooohhhh thank you so much! Looking forward to these dark eggs! Xxxx
Please help, which type of Marans are these (I think) pullets. Mum is a Black Copper Marans, Dad is a Blue Splash Marans. Thus I am aware that you can end up with all different. One (The darker 1) has much more copper leakage, the other is like smokey grey, with v small copper leakage but it is...
Hi,
This baby was born 5 days ago. I thought it was straddle leg so I did the standard glass therapy, splint, selenium B it's etc. Unfortunately, no improvement. Her legs actually point out to the sides in an l shape, perhaps from the hip. She is otherwise thriving, but I am worried for her...
Hi guys,
This bird is 16 wks, I always thought she was a pullet, however I'm seeing a curve in her sickles feathers that has me worried. I would love some opinions, as you can guess I am kinds new to this. Also, this bird does not show any of the signs I am used to seeing well before now with...
Also, this bird does not show any of the signs I am used to seeing well before now with my others such as odd croaky noises, dancing, hackles up, attempts to begin mounting or even courting girls. Thanks for any replies β€οΈ
