When I was breeding large numbers of BC Marans I never hatched a wheaten from BC Marans. MY BC were predominately Wade Jeanne Marans . I single mate and toe punch all chicks hatched on my place.
It depends on the line of BC anyone is working with. The way the Marans have been crossed up you...
The goldish one is a Golden Cuckoo (roo) The White is either White or Splash if White should have pink legs, if Splash should have slate. The Black ones could be BCM or Birchen. They all look good and robust!
Thanks for looking Kim! My roo does have a hint of cream in the saddle area but he has no brown fluff. 2 of my hens do have some brownish color in their underpants so they will probably not stay for winter as the young girls have started to lay and the color on their eggs is very good. I am over...
