Here are they gray chicks 3 possible fathers.
We bought DaddyRooster from a local farmer. He is a cross between a Maran and another breed (I forget which!). He has black/brown feathers, large comb and wattles, and his tailfeathers are black with an iridescent teal sheen in the sun. His feat/legs are black and feathered. He's a great rooster and I saw him chase away a coopers hawk that was attacking the hens.
His son#1 has a peacomb and has cheek puffs. He looks like an EasterEgger, so his mother was likely one of my easter egger hens. His feet are black and not feathered. His tailfeathers are black with an iridescent teal sheen in the sun.
Son #2 has a black and red speckled breast, a large comb and wattles, and unfeathered yellow feet/legs. His saddle feathers are orange/red and tailfeathers are black with an iridescent teal sheen in the sun. I am thinking his mother was one of my Rhode Island Reds.
