What kind of Maran or cochin

[Ponyiqandhens2]

Hi, i have a lovely Maran ( maye cochin) roo, he was an adopt me from Meyers, knew he was a roo from about 10 days..named him Rocko/Rocky. He is not a fighter though.

I have zero idea of what he is other than a Maran or cochin

Meyers carries the following:
MARANS:
CUCKOO
BLUE CUCKOO
WHEATON
GOLDEN CUCKOO
BLUE COPPER
BLACK COPPER
BBS BIRCHEN

COCHINS
PARTRIDGE
WHITE
BBS
MOTTLED

Marans and Cochins have different skin colors, pinkish white for Marans, yellow for Cochins. The easiest way to tell skin color is by looking at the underside of the feet.

I think he is a blue Marans. They sell splash Marans, and splash crossed to splash will give a percentage of blue offspring due to color genetics.

Hey definetly doesnt have yellow skin. I cant actually catch him and he is very savvy,he roost in a location that is difficult to grab one without a second person

Thanks for the assist
