So are your Marans pure Davis line?

And are the Ameraucana eggs (fertilized by the Marans) pure true Ameraucanas? I don't mind having mixed chickens, I just like to know what the mixes are.

The marans eggs I hatched came from 2 other peopl here on BYC. They were originaly from Wade Jean and Davis birds.

The Ameraucanas are pure. They are Lav & Split Lav from ChickenStalker in NY. I hatched eggs sent from her.

Thank you for asking.

Thank you for responding.

Another question... are they feather-legged or clean legged, or some of both?

They are all feather legged except one Splash hen...of course she lays the darkest egg

They all have slate leggs. Some much darker than others but no yellow leggs here. Thank you again for asking!

On second thought...I am going to check the roo tomorrow. I think he has very little leg feathering (like one) - but I am going to intentionaly look to be sure.

Where did you get that rooster? Did he hatch from a dark egg?

Yes he did. When I ordered eggs last year I only hatched the darkest ones. I am pretty sure he came from an BYCers egg.
