If you think they are hens then that would give me 5 hens and one feathered legged roo. All but one look like them. Lighter tan feathers and the one is darker brownie brown. Best way to say the color
1CM roo (back) & 1 pullet
I have 4-5 that are the same in color and feathered out
Clean legged chick
1 darker and less feathering.
Wheaton Marans and 2 CM will be 2 weeks this Sat.

Here is a Easter basket I'll be sending out soon.
Also these are my CM eggs and Blue EE eggs. Marans left EE right Mix flock back row.
What do you think the Cuckoo Marans egg color rates at?
Yea, I hope I have more pullets too. Do you know which roo throws the clean leg chicks and the feather leg chicks?
I am asking so if I want to breed them which ones to keep. The one clean leg chick I got looks like it will have darker feathers.
Hope you get some more pullets on your next...
