Unsure of breed

[Memaw karen]

I incubated eggs from Chocolate Laced Orpington pen, Lavender Laced/Mottled Pen, and a Buff Laced Brahma pen. I’m unsure of what these little guys are. No feathers in feet so I assume Orpingtons. First time I’ve had this happen. What could they be?

That is really a tough call. @ColtHandorf is the best person to ask since he raises Orps.

So you have one pen of Chocolate Silver-laced Orpingtons and one pen of Lavender-laced and Mottled Orpingtons? Are the Lavender-laced Isabel Lavender-laced (Gold-laced with Lavender gene) or Lavender Silver-laced (Silver-laced with Lavender gene)? Are the Mottled birds Black Mottled? Lavender Mottled?

I don't breed Chocolate Silver-laced because I don't like them visually, but I'd think this little one is Chocolate Silver-laced.

The other chicks appear to be Black Mottled, although if they also have Laced parentage, all I can say is that they came from that pen. I could play in the Genetics Calculator to show you the possibilities if I know what's actually in that pen.

Do you have pics of the parents?

Thank you for the reply. My chocolate hen has more of a gold in her feathers than the rooster. I don’t have a clear pick of her she’s in the background in the nesting box.

I’m unsure of the gold laced or silver laced gene base. I’m still learning.
