They are supposed to be black copper Maran…

So I have two 3 week old chicks that were thrown in with 8 other week to 1.5 week old chicks I got. I posted about them being blue and black cause it was hard to decipher but we got it and now one of the older ones is growing these wing feathers????

Someone said mystic Maran in oedigree so that means it’s possibly bred BCM x BCM but I believe the rooster carried barred rock in pedigree due to a breeder not knowing the difference between a BCM and a MM?

That chick certainly looks like it could be barred. Since the barred gene is dominant, all birds that have the gene will be barred. So if the chick is, it had at least one barred parent

Okay good to know thank you this is useful information idk if they all are like this but from this specific breeder I will keep my eyes peeled just in case.
