Different Design Than Expected BCM+Buckeye Chick

[GlicksChicks]

What causes this (Buckeye Rooster):

Plus this (Black Copper Maran Hen):

To produce a chick like this pullet (All 3 pics are the same chick):

This is the only chick out of 32 of my flock's offspring. The Buckeye is the only breeding rooster I have ever had with this flock so far. My BCM hens are the only black hens I have.

I don’t have an answer but she’s gorgeous

I don’t have an answer but she’s gorgeous

Thank you! She is definitely different than any of the maran mix offspring I have had, but I love her! Her name is Kiss!

Buckeyes are e^Wh/e^WhCo/CoMh/Mh and black copper Marans are E^R/E^Rco+/co+Mh/Mh so she is E^R/e^WhCo/co+Mh/mh
Birchen patterning like that in Marans is dominant to wheaten, however, it doesn't supress it completely. Columbian also shouldn't show up on birchen but that might not be completely true in practice. That is why she has red leakage. She is red birchen with red leakage.
Anyway, thank you for this post. This proves my theory correct. I wasn't sure if Buckeyes were really Co Columbian or Db Darkbrown, but Db would express on a birchen bird so it must be Columbian.

Thank you! Now I know what to call her!

Is it likely that I would get another like her?
