    BLACK COPPER MARANS HATCHING EGGS 12+

    Any idea what these guys are?

    Hi, I know this guy is a rooster but I am curious as to what variety he might be?!? I have included a shot of his legs. Is this what people refer to as green legs? Again, I know he's a rooster but am not sure of anything other than that. These guys are almost nine weeks old. They came...
