Is it possible to hatch a wheaton maran from cuckoo maran parents? Bought 3 hatching eggs from a lady, she said the only dark layers she has are cuckoo marans yet I hatched out two black chicks and one pure yellow chick. From what I'm reading on the forums wheaton marans are often thrown from impure black copper maran lines, but I can't find anything about them coming from cuckoo maran lines. I can't get a straight answer from this lady about why I got a yellow chick- I hate to think badly about a fellow chicken-friend but it sounds like she got her roosters mixed up and doesn't want to admit it. I'm not mad about it although I think it's dishonest, just trying to figure out what exactly I have!
Any thoughts?
