I have just hatched out a dozen Maran eggs. 7 are white 5 are grey brown
mottled.
The parents are Cuckoo Marans, the *** a fairly pale grey.
Does the colour difference indicate the sex?

WHITE?
urmm?????

Have you seen both parents?
or the parents of those parents?

I have no idea with there is an ultra recessive "white" gene in Marans but 7
of 12 is decidedly iffy
