I had one of those too, gone too soon to a murderous raccoon! No, this mom is a copper Maran, my best hen and a fearsomely bad temperament. I took all of her eggs and replaced them with her gentle flock mates.
Four are from Easter egger hens and the other two are from a buff Brahma. The father is a big black-and-red Polish x Maran fellow who passed along his coloring to everyone. I’ve got one chick with fuzzy legs and another one may be growing a topknot! Two of the chicks had very fluffy chins and I’m hoping they’ll grow the EE beards.
