answer to the chipmunk chicks!

I have two related bcm typically I would not have hatched their eggs because of the relation, however she has this lovely spotted brown egg I wanted another layer for the layer coop. I set eggs and hatched out chicks and two were chipmunked!!! how can two bcm send out a chipmunk!!! I have no other roosters! So I thought maybe a brahma roo got her before I sold them off, so I set one more time, and again a chipmunk chick! I sent eggs to Mike and he hatched FOUR chipmunks!!! I set and hatched this week and Got yet another chipmunk!!! meanwhile the oldest chicks are growing out.

after speaking on the phone for an hour with a genetics dude about bcm and pheasants he tells me that they carried the gene from it being introduced at some point, and since they both carried this gene they got double copies and produced dun dun dun Partridge Marans...

These two chicks came from parents below LOL

I love her spotted eggs for my eggbasket

did I mention I never heard of partridge marans?

Thankyou, and 3, I have three not four.
