I'm still very much a newbie when it comes to chicken colors, but I'm trying to learn. The chick is 6 weeks old. He/she came from a place that had both Black Copper and Blue Copper Marans. I don't know much about genetics, but I think splash can come from blues? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I know he/she is a bit dirty, so it's hard to see, but there are a few reddish feathers starting to grow in on either wing(there's only one tiny one visible, toward the center of the photo). Is that normal with this coloring? I thought splash was just white and black/grey.
The feet. The fuzziness lets me know it is a marans, since that's the only feather-legged breed at the place I bought the chicks from.
