I had 6 chicks hatch this week. They are a cross between a Blue Maran rooster (brown egg) and an Easter Egger Hen (light green egg). They are only a few days old and I am curious if anyone else has a similar cross and what did the offspring's egg color turn out to be? I was hoping to make some olive eggers! But the whole genetic formula is a bit confusing!
A surrogate hen hatched them in the coop, she is also a blue maran but not related to the chicks. This is my first time ever hatching chicks at home, I have always bought them from feed stores.
Chick Details:
4 chicks are solid black
2 chicks are grey (blue)
5/6 have foot feathers
5/6 have full beard/cheeks
