HenWen had been through a bad molt, so I looked for the closest possible image. Here are a few I just went out and took of both ladies. HenWen has the larger comb and Dinah the smaller.

Are they black marans or black copper marans? I just ask because I don't see any copper in their feathers I also see that they appear to be clean-legged, so they aren't bred to the APA standard, which requires leg feathers - birds are DQ'd if they don't have them. That is totally fine if you don't care about that and neither do your buyers, just wanted to check to see if that was indeed the case. Some people just care about the egg color.

The picture you used of the copper marans hen, that was a borrowed one too, right? It looks like it was taken from Google from a farm named Sunbird Farms. It's the sixth result in images to show up if you google "Black copper marans hen". That hen does have feathered legs though so that's why I asked above if yours were clean-legged or not.

Sorry, not trying to be difficult, it's just important that people know what they are bidding on

Thanks you @Pyxis and @RoostersAreAwesome for your sharp eyes.

ONLY YOUR OWN PICTURES ARE TO BE USED TO REPRESENT YOUR BIRDS on this thread.
The point of pictures is to show the buyer EXACTLY what to expect.

Not using your own pictures is absolutely not permitted and to sell on this thread this rule must be followed.

People have been buying and selling on this thread for many years, and do so because our sellers (especially the regular ones) are so absolutely amazing. We need to keep it this way.

Thank you wonderful sellers (and lucky buyers)

I am getting good production on cream legbar eggs and am planning to do a weekend auction for Monday shipping. Just a heads up for anyone interested.

No worries. I’m not upset. I’d probably feel the same if the roles were reversed. Here are some close ups. The weather has been a bit grey lately.
