Well my FBCM tend to have big combs from early age These blue coppers are about 5 weeks ,the only male is at the right you can see already the copper at the neck ,their mother had a comb that made me think she was male until 3 months old. So my answer is depends the line.

That information helps , thanks . Since I don't have any other Marans I will hatch more with the next broody and next year I will breed the darkest egg laying hens back to the father ,good thing that the original pair is not related.

I know the BBS genetics , just never have seen a splash upclose and googling splash marans returned images with,well more blue splashes on them, so I needed a conformation , thanks :) .

oh and thats some of her first eggs ,that is just for braging since she is my first Marans hen :D

Hi all, I have a Marans pair a 2 years old black copper rooster, and a hen I hatched from shiped eggs last year , i set 6 eggs under a broody bantam and these 5 hatched Sorry for the poop :rolleyes: anyway they all look blue to me even the darker one in the front . So this is the father And...

I respectfully disagree ,red sex link roosters do not look like the hens ,they are white with a red patch on their shoulders , usually sex link hens mature faster than heritage breeds , for me only the buff orp is rooster

The are Russian orloff

They look like Black Sex Link roosters

Hmmm is everyone sure ? I though barred rocks supposed to have yellow legs. They look white to me at the photo , isn't that indicator of a possible cross ?

Russian Orloff ? It seems to be speckled peacombed and bearded

I would say black sex link rooster

Most likely a levander oegb .

I would say Brahma cross , he has modified pea comb and feathered legs , also the body type is more close to Brahma than BCM ,also agree he is not black copper in color ,just has red leakage .

X2 And with that body type probably with some kind of game type breed as the other half

She has a modified pea comb , many of my easter eggers have similar since they have single comb parentage

Her comb looks like cross of pea and rose comb , also she seems to have some lacing at the chest ? So my best guess is ee x wyandotte Pretty girl you've got there

Any game type would be a good choice like Old English Game Bantams , Serama too . I have some game cross bantam hens and every single hen goes broody 3 times per year ,sometimes there will be a hen that will set for a fourth time , and I had pullets laying at 5 months and at 5 1/2 months going...

His legs are yellow ? If yes then Buff Rock

I am lurking more than i am posting and i know that you have some amazing projects with very good results and surely my experience does not much yours ,but all I am saying is that the combs of such a cross might result some big floppy pea combs specially if the EE parent already had single comb...

However crossing a pea combed chicken with a single combed specially with one with really big comb like the leghorn will result modified pea combs and in the case of a Leghorn parent they will be heavily modified , some will almost look like single combs to an antrained eye ,so be careful...
