Who is the Mother of This Pullet?

[GlicksChicks]

Hello, I have a 9 week old pullet that I can't identify the mother of.

A while back I was told that all of my black chicks had Black Copper Marans as mothers but she has markings that makes me think her mother may be a Silver Laced Wyandotte.

I know the breed of the rooster, he is a Buckeye.

The hens I have are: Silver Laced Wyandotte, Black Copper Maran, Speckled Sussex (Unlikely), and Buckeye (Definitely not)

So, the pullet is: Buckeye/[Insert Hen Here]

What kind of comb does she have?

What kind of comb does she have?

This is the best picture I could get, she was in a place not easily accessable. She has always been a stubborn chick.

Hard to tell what it is since the comb is so small. Probably pea. What shade of brown egg did she hatch from?

I do not know which shade the egg was, she hatched while I was not watching as well as multiple other chicks with her.

Her comb resembles my buckeye hen's comb (her mother is most definitely not a buckeye though, she just got that comb instead of a mix or the comb of her mother.)

I believe pea x rose always makes a walnut comb, which means it is likely from a single-combed hen.

So then her mother would be a Black Copper Maran, so I don't know how she would get those designs. She is a pretty pullet regardless.

Do your BCMs have feathered feet?
