Mixed Breed Chick?

[NevadaRain]

OK, I had a Black Copper Marans go broody so I let her keep a few eggs. Honestly, I didn't think she was that dedicated (I had another hen go broody last year, kept track of everything and nothing hatched) so I didn't keep track of the days and I didn't candle them. Three weeks ago I got a surprise! She hatched one. I know I let her have a few Marans eggs, a Cream Leg Bar, Rhode Island Red, Black Australorp, and Golden Laced Wyandotte. I have Isbar hens, but I don't remember giving her any of those eggs. The roosters I have are: Golden Laced Wyandotte, Black Copper Marans, and a Cream Leg Bar. When the chick hatched it looked like a female Cream Leg Bar except for the red coloring, however the feathers coming in look like a Rhode Island Red. I don't think my Marans are in the mix and I doubt that the Black Australorp has any DNA in there, but what is? I am thinking my Cream Leg Bar rooster and Rhode Island Red hen. If so, does that mean my chick is male?

It looks like just like my cream legbar mixes. You're probably right about the mix.

Cream Leg Bars and Golden Laced Wyandottes have the chipmunk pattern on chicks. It is possible that this chick is half GLW. GLW & Rhode Island Red, doesn't that make the offspring a Cinnamon Queen? I lost my RIR, Greedy Gurty, a couple of weeks ago to a prolapsed vent. If the chick is half RIR it is hers. And I hope it is a girl.
