I appreciate all advice!
I'd hoped the dark one might be a Partridge. And I feared they were both cockerels. I'll continue to watch them both. I have 3 "buffs", so if this one's a cockerel it won't be too sad for me. None of the buffs have very good personalities. I wonder if this is common? My dark ones are all very personable. Anyway, Your input is greatly appreciated!
I am friends with a breeder and all buffs she hatches and raise have bad personalities, I have no idea why, and all of her white ones are super friendly! Its strange XD My blue partridge I had a while back (cockerel) was a sweet heart, wasn't AS sweet as the black silkie sister but still one hell of a friendly little dude <3Thanks, CascadiaRiver
Marans can't be shown to my knowledge so there isnt a offical standard for them, just regular overall chicken criteria, like "Tails too high" Or "not solid enough in colour" compared to standard birds being "The toenails are the wrong colour" and "The eyes aren't dark enough" and such XD XDSo hoping to get a head start...but I may just have to wait it out. I've already got two young Marans cockerels I'm trying to decide between ( and no idea about the criteria.). Thanks for your input, drumstick diva
They're as different as night and day. One is big and pretty, but aggressive. The other is definitely the beta - with no tail feathers. Whoever heard of that? Not a single one!
