Breed? 🤔

Alright so definitely a BCM mixture, but now theres silver lacing showing up. I know the eggs I got were either dark like BCM eggs or Ameraucana. So the barring to me doesnt seem right to be an olive egger. She also had cuckoo marans......so potentially BCM x Cuckoo maran??

Where did you get them from?

I picked up the eggs from a local lady and hatched them out. So she only had a BCM and an Ameraucana rooster, but a variety of hens.

She could an ameraucana cochin mix. That means she will lay green eggs.

Hmm that would be interesting, would explain how some of them have super fuzzy legs lol. I'd love it if they happened to be, I lost a bantam cochin earlier in the year and she was absolutely adorable ❤

I have an OE pullet that looks just like that! She's BC Marans and Ameraucana, but looks like a Marans mostly. The white you're seeing is silver lacing. Very common with birchen based crosses, and doesn't mean she isn't what she's supposed to be.

Ahhh that's good to know! Can I see a picture of your baby? I'd love an idea of what he/she will look like

The silver lacing eventually molts out. Mine also had THE FUZZIEST legs! But her leg and feet feathers are still growing in.

This was what she looked like the day she hatched
