The males are black with white barring. They are now 4 weeks and their feathers are coming in good. The girls are some black, some blue, and 1 is black and white. They all have feathered feet and legs. The dad was splash marans.
Can anyone tell me what I have here? The breeder's only crested bird was a CLB so obviously the crested one is half CLB and then maybe BCM? The smaller one maybe a CBL x Ameraucana (cheeks)? The breeder has his full bred CLB, BCM, RIR and black Ameraucanas together for the winter so these babies are a cross of two of those breeds. I guess the little one would be a roo because of the spot?

I bought eggs off eBay where the seller had a similar set up to what you described and my babies look very similar to yours. Do you have updated pics?

This chick hatched out of a blue egg and has a pea comb, so I'm guessing Cream Legbar rooster over Blue Americana (and I'm already almost certain it is a boy).

This chick hatched out of a brown egg (but not dark like a Marans) and has a straight comb. So cream legbar over.... But looks soooooo much like yours.
