Here's a pop quiz for genetic gurus out there:
Mum is a Cuckoo Maran/Barnevelder mix (her dad Maran, her mum Barnie). She's faintly barred.
Dad is a Silver Laced Wyandotte.
SO, we let a broody hatch 3 eggs, all 3 chicks are different;
one looks kind of like an Austrarlorp chick, I'm guessing it'll be a black pullet
one looks like a black sex-link roo, with the white spot in the neck and all, I'm guessing barred male
one looks silver based and chipmunkey, my guess is it'll be a badly laced SLW-ish pullet...
Any takers? Am I far out in my assumptions? Or do I really *groan* have to wait 6 whole weeks to find out...
