Chick Pics.. I love Genetics!

[ParkerVA]

I hatched 5 eggs out of one of my favorite hens, she is a Marans x EE, but looks just like a cuckoo EE (muffed/bearded). She is in with a Blue Wheaton Ameraucana rooster.

All 5 chicks look different! I have one that looks cuckoo, one that is blue, one that is chipmunk striped, one that looks wheaton and one that is white-ish looking with a few black specks on it.

Here are some pictures of the 5 of them.







Also, here is a pic of a chick out of my Turken hen and a Blue Wheaton Ameraucana rooster.

And a picture of some of my 2 and half week old blue and splash standard cochins.

Wow, what color egg does a maran/EE lay? Very interesting.

I have a Red Star that I hatched eggs from. I ended up w/ a splash hen, three all white ones, two blacks, and one grey. No of them were red. She was with three different roos...a White Langshan, Blue Andalusian, & Buttercup. It's very interesting I think too! Good luck w/ them.
