Maran Question (Blue Splash Hen x BCM Rooster)

[brodysam]

I have a black copper maran hen and will soon have a black copper maran cockerel to go with her. I'm also getting a blue splash hen that will be going in too. Can anyone tell me what the offspring of a BCM cockerel and blue splash hen will look like? I've tried to find it online but can't.

Both BCM's have feathered legs but the blue splash is clean-legged.

BCM x Splash will result in 100% blue babies.

Hope this helps!

Yes, it does. Thanks so much!

The babies will all be blue, but I hatched eggs from a red eyed Copper Black feather legged marans roo on a couple of dark eyed, clean legged black marans hens.

I got every possible mixed result. I got half feather legged, half clean legged. I got half dark eyes, half red eyes. I got half copper hackles, half solid blacks. The first one has started laying, (solid black, feather legged with red eyes) and she is laying as dark as my Copper Black marans hens from bayhorsebonne! They are small pullet eggs but I put a few in the bator and they are due to hatch around the 2nd of July... She is in with my pure black, clean legged, dark eyed marans roo... Wish me luck!
