Mixed chicks. What can I expect?

[Bantu]

well what a surprise! In a conversation with my son I found out my gold laced Cochin bantam has been seen mating with the big girls quiet regularly over the past few months. I didn't think BCM would allow it So this IS going to be a interesting hatch.
And sadly my BCM was killed by a hawk along with my only gold laced Cochin bantam hen . So these are his one and only chicks.... If they are his!

I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm sure at least some of them will still be his. How long ago was he killed before you collected the eggs to hatch?

 

[Bantu]

I actually put them in the brooder a few days before he was killed.

The chance of them being his chicks is very high, more likely than not you'll have some from both roosters.

A black, white and yellow chick hatched about 10 minutes ago. WITH feathered legs!

Awesome!
Third baby might not make it. She hatched out with some of her yolk not absorbed.
