I ordered 150 chicks from mt healthy....they were all good....only lost 5...but mt healthy dont have alot of the rare breeds like marans or wellsummers.....I got some speckled sussex.......I had a box of 40 different breeds that I got from breeders...the cuckoo marans...welsummers and some...
I got mine from a local breeder and I know what she had was cuckoo marans I just did not know about them getting mixed in with the sexlinks....they all looked alike.....but as far as them feathering out they are later than my other chicks.....
does mine look like a cuckoo maran?....my friend brought them back from chattanooga for me and put them in with her black sex link the same age and we had a hard time telling them apart....I was waiting to see the barred ....the sexlinks wont have barred....
