Isn't she beautiful! I think I have a blue male too. The second one has to be a mixed since the it's not a FBCM or a Blue Maran. I think the blue male might be the third pure breed.
The mixed are eggs from barred rocks,cuckoo marans,and ameracana hens with a wheaton marans rooster. The pure breed eggs came from either Black French Copper Marans or French Blue Marans.
I bought 16 eggs, four of which were pure breed and 12 that were mixed breeds. 13 eggs hatched including three of the pure breeds. They hatched overnight and I have no idea which ones are which.
My babies are four weeks old now and I'm still trying to figure out which ones are the pure breed Marans.
Is this a French Black Copper Maran roo?
Is this a Cuckoo Maran roo?
Is this a French Blue Maran pullet?
