I think the mystery has been solved. I sent pics of my adults to a Marans "expert". Apparently, my Blue Copper Roo is split to Wheaten. She said the eyes were a give away. This little one is most likely a Wheaten Marans. My first in 5 yrs!
After thinking about him having such orange legs I got to thinking, I did put guineas in the coop a while back. They are out and free-roaming now but they were in there at one time. So now I'm wondering if it is half guinea!
I raise French copper Marans. I've had them for almost 5 years now. They stay in a coop. 1 black copper Marans rooster 1 Blue Copper Marans rooster. 7 Blue Copper Marans hens. I hatch many many many chicks every year. I always get a good amount of black a good amount of blue and some splash...
