Ok so long story short. I have Cream Legbars (1 rooster, 2 hens) and Black Copper Marans (1 rooster, 2 hens). They are about a year old. My Black Copper Maran went broody for the first time and it took my husband and myself about a week or so to realize what was going on (first broody hen). Anyway, we also didn't realize that she had gone broody in the hens favorite box. Anytime she got up the other hens would lay their eggs. After a week well lets say we had a large amount of eggs under her that had already started incubating. We decided we would let her hatch them out to experience the amazing way nature just works itself out. I have 2 daughters so they were amazed with the whole process. Our 12 chickens are about 3 weeks old now and I do not know which ones are pure bred and which ones are mixed breeds. I heard the mix breeds of these two would produce an Olive Egger so I'm kind of excited about that. Anyway, I want to give away a good amount of them but I don't know male or female or which breed. I took a picture of the few different patterns we have. Maybe a pro could give me some good advice We also had one born last night... another hen must have
