Thoughts on this guy? Triangle seems to be missing on him will it come in? I know he is much slower feathering out than the others were.

I would say pull (stretch) out his wing and have a look. Mine didn't seem to have them in pictures either, but when I stretch out the wings, I can see it on most of them. Hopefully mine (and yours!) get better as they grow and molt.

Good to know Don! I can only go by my BCMs at this point, and then reading the SOP. These Wheaties sure do feather in differently!

coloration seems fine but it doesn't seem like he's grown his primary wing feathers so the cinnamon win triangle may come in. what caught my attention is if he truly is fearthering in slowly
keep him for dark eggs.hw will b good for carring the dark egg gene

Thanks. I'll take a look at his wing stretched out but yeah he does seem to not have his primaries yet so that could be it. Thanks Randy

Hi, I am new to marans, I hatched some a few months ago. I need to weed out some roosters, but I can't tell for sure what they are. I have blue copper, wheaton and black and want to keep one of each rooster. I will take some pictures tomarrow and post them on here. Does anyone know of a good website that would tell me exactly what to look for?
