What colour variation is this Maran chick?

[Cross2Twins]

Hi BYC people,
I had three chicks hatch today under a broody hen, (1x Araucana and 1x Black Copper Marans and other unknown colour variation of a Maran)

I would like to know what he/she colour she is, she looks a welsummer. The cockerel
is a Wheaten Maran and the hen is a BC Maran.
This is her/him.

Thanks Olivia.

P.S I live in Australia that's why I write "colour" like that!

If the hen and the rooster are not the same color variety, the chicks will not be standard colors.

I don't know. But that chick is super cute!

Please keep us updated as it grows.

Your black copper could be recessive for wheaton. I think the bird may either be wheaton or a mix that's not a standard color.

Could it be a Golden Salmon Maran? Those chicks look exactly the same. Her feathers are starting to flourish too.

To be a golden salmon, both parents have to be golden salmon. the OP's bird has different color variety parents, so it likely won't be any standard color variety.
