Okay I am a little bit confused. I have one rooster and he is a Silked EE. I have a variety of hens, but I hatched chicks from the Blue Cuckoo Maran, Welsummer, Delaware, and another Silked EE.
I was sure that the black skin would mean daughters, but I thought there would also be other indications such as the coloring from the mother. I’m more confused about one Welsummer chick. “He” has orange shanks and normal chicken-colored skin, but the pattern looks very much like a female Welsummer.
My thought was that I have a Welsummer cockerel, a Delaware pullet, 2 Blue Cuckoo Maran pullets, one Blue Cuckoo Maran cockerel, and the Silked EEs are unknown for awhile.
I have a few more just hatching and that’s 3 more Welsummer offspring, one with dark skin two with lighter/pink skin.
What are your thoughts?
