Black Copper Marans discussion thread

[Sylvester017]

I just wanted to update you all. I finally on your suggestion contacted the woman I got the eggs from. The verdict is that the blue chick is a Fauvacana! (Faverolle Roo over Ameraucana).

My Pet Chicken on their website said that they were introducing Favaucanas soon.

I started hatching some of my eggs. Only getting average of 5 or 6 eggs from the pair I have. I hatch 3 this past week and one of the chicks had copper on both sides of its hackle feathers. Is that nbormal for chicks to have copper when they first hatch.

Is this a blue copper marans, or a black copper marans? I bought him as a chick, and he looked like the typical black copper marans. But now that he has gotten older, his feathers have been turning blue.
