Ok, I bought some BC Maran eggs off ebay and this is one of two odd ball chicks that hatched out. The others look like BCM chicks with feathered shanks except one has extremely heavy feathered shanks. Here is a pic of what the two odd balls look like. WHAT ARE THEY?

Looks like a Golden Salmon, but those are rare. . . Either it is a Wheaten with really really bad coloring or a Golden Salmon.

The black one looks like it has feathered legs.. If so, it looks like my dark brahma chick.. The other one looks like a rir from the back but the side view (if that's the same chick) don't so not sure on that one.. Maybe someone else will have an idea..

I had two off them hatch and both hatched out the small end of the egg - Not the large end- One had to be helped and one almost jumped out! I had 6 other eggs that didnt pip and died so I investigated a little and found one other chick like these two. This is a pic of one of them, the other has darker marking on his back. Person I bought them from said posibbly a Wheaton Sport? or Black tailed buff sport? Possible??????

The one with stripes on its back looks just like my Rhode Island Red baby.

I don't know, but they look like my Speckled Sussex babies -- does the breeder have any?

 

[millejn3]

Im not sure if he does or not. I guess I will have to wait to see what they turn out to be. Going by their coombs it looks like I might have a male and female. I traded the seller some turkey eggs for more of these same maran eggs so we will see if I get any more of these same colored chicks in about two more weeks

 

[millejn3]

Anyone else have any Ideas as what they may turn out to be?
