Thanks for the help with the pics purplebat!
The chicks are a cross between their father, Richard (I forget what breed he is)(I'm surprised he's still producing chicks really, he's so old, we've had to cut his spurs twice because they were growing into the back of his legs :roll: )

and (99% certain) a cuckoo maran, like their mother:

If so, they should turn out something like this:

Angel behind (because of her white wings) and Gabriella in front (Angel-Gabriel=Angel and Gabriella, get it?

)
