Hatched October 14th (12 weeks old tomorrow), beautiful mix of his parents. This cockerel is tall, nicely sized, and takes after both parents in looks but more towards the GCM but with a bit more color on his wings. His legs do have the occasional 
, he looks like he is going to have white earlobes and a walnut comb. His saddle feathers are coming in and he is starting to crow so he needs a new home fast. His mother's eggs have an unusual egg white that is more transparent and has a slightly different texture when cooked. Not sure if that is a Marans trait or if it was just her. I did the cross hoping to get that to pass on, along with the deathlayer laying ability but unfortunately I got a rooster instead of a hen and I can't keep him.
You can see more pictures of him from chick up on this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/pullets-or-cockerels-gold-deathlayer-x-various.1554797/
