I have a Black Copper Marans Rooster and I'm thinking about incubating my first eggs this year.
My question is will they all be considered "Barnyard Mix"
My hens are RIR, Barred Rock, French Cuckoo Marans, Sapphire Olive Eggers, Green Easter Egger, Silver Lace Wyandotte, Gold Blue Lace Wyandotte, Isa Brown, Golden Comet, Midnight Majesty Marans, Mystic Onyx, Sapphire Splash and Calico Princess.
I had a Mystic Maran I loved but she died this past fall. I saw that they are a mix between a BCM rooster and Barred Rock hen. Will I get Mystic Marans, or would it be different from the hatcheries?

Thank you
 
Any female with a silver gene will make a sexlinked bird like your mystic marans is a sexlink. I have a Black Copper Marans mixed with a Cuckoo Marans. Same concept as your Mystic but not the fancy name. The chick's sex will be identified at hatch. All of your combinations would be barnyard mixed unless you breed to the same breed. The EE are a mixed breed just given a different name.

Would my green easter egger offspring be an olive egger?
