Identifying chick from 2 landrace parents

[MildlyOffensiveChicken]

My Icelandic Roo is the father.

I had a broodie hatch 4 Icelandic eggs, 1 BCM and 1 Swedish flower.

The Icelandic/BCM is easy due to feathered shanks.

Any way to identify the Icelandic/Swedish flower? They are about 8 weeks old. All but one have feather crests/Mohawks.

Since you mention the crests: any chick with a crest should have at least one parent with a crest. If the rooster has a crest, that won't help with figuring out who the mother is. (I can't decide in the photo if he has a crest or not. I think I see pinfeathers there, so maybe he's regrowing one?)

Apart from that, it might help if you also post photos of the other hens, and the chicks. Sometimes seeing the colors will make it possible to match up some or all of them. (Since you've already matched up the Marans hen/chick, leaving that one out won't matter.)

But it might not be possible to sort out in this particular case, if the Swedish Flower hen and some of the Icelandic hens have too many overlapping traits.

Swedish flower hen are prevalent to having chicks with crest.
