Thank you!

He’s turned into quite the little rooster! Very good with his ladies, even though he hasn’t fully figured everything out yet, lol.

They’ve started laying! The eggs aren’t the darkest, but they’re too dark to be anything else. So the verdict is Marans! The hatchery that I believe this TSC sources from does sell them. They do still have light foot feathering as well. Overall, very happy with them. 😊

We were told they were either blue cuckoo or copper Marans. That’s what the worker stated. Nothing was labeled. Only other chicks in that bin were Orpingtons. They had some chipmunk patterned breed in the other bin and then ducks. Only odd chick out was the D’uccle which was the only bantam...

Ok, thank you for the response! They do have foot feathering, it’s been coming more and more each day, but not showing the best in the pictures. The lighter colored one definitely has better foot feathering though, but I think the darker one has nicer feathers overall. I have Welsummers, with...

Hello all! Was told to post pictures here, I would love to get your opinions on these two. Are they actually Marans? Just poor quality? Purchased from TSC 8 weeks ago.

Sorry! Just was trying to get the best pics I had, they never stop moving! They were from TSC. Found a D’uccle in one bin and had to get him, needed three other chicks, so I got these two and the orp.

I’ll give them a post there then

They do have an interesting tail shape imo. They seem larger than I expected, very, very sweet birds! The edges on the darker gal’s feathers are really striking in person. This was my first time getting Marans so I have no experience with them prior. I have Welsummers and they were smaller at...

Wanted to get some opinions on what these guys are? Very large chicks, and quite heavy. They outweigh and size my orpington by a lot. I thought they were Marans, but not so sure now. What do you all think? I’ve had them 8 weeks now, could be a bit older. They have feathered feet, coming out more...

ok, thank you! I had people telling me the orpington in particular was a cockerel even when I didn’t ask! That’s the one I am most hoping is a pullet.

Hoping to get a few more opinions on these guys for peace of mind! ☝

Ok, thank you so much!

So both breeds(Or all three chicks?) That would be such a relief!

Had the text on the bottom before and didn’t realize that it kinda looked like I posted a bunch of pictures with no info! Sorry about that!
