Gender and possible parentage guesses

[gwells1980]

Hi, I got a dozen hatching eggs from a lady who said she had 1 Cuckoo Marans Rooster and 1 Cochin Rooster and a mix of Cuckoo Marans, Easter Egger, and Cochin hens. So, in theory you should get a nice assortment of mixes with possiblities of true bred Marans and Cochins. Please look at the photos and help out if you can. I am seeing traits that don't match any of those. 5 toes on 2 of the chicks is one of the traits that none of the above parentage should have made. Also, I did see the Cochin Roo and he was a stunningly beautiful Lavender Rooster that was in all honesty, the largest rooster I have ever seen. He had to be pushing 20 pounds! (He was the reason I bought the eggs)

Also, any guesses as to the genders would be helpful as well.

They are all 1 month old in the pictures.

THANKS FOR PLAYING!

My Guess - Cochin Easter Egger Mix - Pullet -
Egg Color - Blue
Parents - Cochin Roo (obvious, he looks to much like his dad) / an Easter Egger Hen



My Guess - unknown mix - Cockerel
Egg Color - Blue Egg
Parents - Cuckoo Marans Rooster / Some type of Silkie or Dorking ???? I have no idea



My Guess - A Silkie Mix of some type - Cockerel
Egg Color - PINK EGG
Parentage - From what she said she owned - A miracle chick somehow got black skin and 5 toes on one foot without a chicken present with those genes. (My wife's favorite) Also it's skin just started turning black about a week and a half ago.



My Guess -Marans Cochin - Cockerel
Egg Color - Olive Egg
Parentage - No idea but I believe one was a Cochin



My Guess - Unknown Mix - Pullet
Egg Color - Brown Egg
Parentage - Unknown for either



My Guess - Another Miracle Silkie? - 5 toes on both feet with feathered legs and a cool Mohawk on his head - Cockerel
Egg Color - Olive Egg
Parentage - Unknown



My Guess - Marans Mix - Gender ??
Egg Color - Brown Egg
Parentage - Don't know

My guess is...
Roo
Roo
Roo
Roo
Pullet
Roo
Pullet
It's early to know for sure, but in my limited experience, any hint of redness in the comb before 10 weeks is a good sign for being a rooster.

Have any pictures of which is the pullet? Is it the splash?

Wow! Your odds may be actually worse than mine! Lol! My first hatch was 4/5 Roos. My second hatch included 4 BCMs (3/4 Roos). I also have 7 BYM chicks which are undetermined, but pretty confident at least 4 are Roos so far…).

Which one of yours turned out to be the pullet?
