Bought these birds from someone who hatched them from a local breeder who had mixed flock of purebreds with Silverudds blue and Marans as possible fathers. Waiting to hear back what possible mothers there are.May I ask how you can spot the father?(silverudds blue)? I have a pullet that looks exactly like this, that I hatched from a random assortment of eggs. The egg was blue. Same comb and everything. But from what I looked up on Silverrudds, they have a single comb?
Feathered legs are dominant so I would expect the chicks to have feathered legs if the Marans was the father.
Both chicks also have the dark eyes like the silverudds. The blue one looks like it has a modified pea comb which is common in a cross between a single combed and a Pea combed breed.
Single combs are also recessive.
So just used the process of elimination to figure it out.
These girls should lay some shade of green egg in that case, so I guess time will tell if my suppositions are correct.
