“Purebred BCM”

[EmilyEnns]

Hi All,

So i picked up some “purebred black copper maran” chicks this summer. I’ve got 3 hens, 2 of which look like they are purebred but then i’ve got this girl who’s got some fuzzy cheeks! any guesses to what she is? or what color of eggs she’ll lay?

That is an Ameraucana. You should expect blue eggs.

A part of her is forsure a bcm though she was hatched from a dark dark brown egg!

Then she maybe an Olive Egger. The dad was most likely an Ameraucana then.

Are you POSITIVE? She has all the traits of a purebred ameraucana.

here is a roos hatched from the same batch of eggs and one of my what i believe is a purebred bcm pullets! Not sure what kind of genes he has in him but we live in canada where the temps drop super low ... -36 celcius tonight! so i’m not complaining about the fact he has cheeks to keep him warm!

I have a Blue Wheaten Marans X American Game. He hatched from a chocolate brown egg, so his mother was a Marans.
