LP~ On each leg she has just one feather that is black but has a white tip on the ends of them.
It isn't really noticable until you pick her up and get a close look but I don't recall ever seeing it before on other French standard birds. It is on her shanks not her toes. The part of the leg...

Littlepeddler has been a big help with me on educating me on the French Standard Marans....I still have a long ways to go though before I fully 'get' it all.....Hopefully by the time I start breeding, I will have something decent to work...
This thread is very interesting and helpful to me...
On more carefully inspecting my birds now, well, the hen that has feathered shanks...I noticed she has little white tips on her feathering on her shanks...WHAT does this mean?????? Is this OK for French Standard breeding?
