Very welcome, Diva... :)
Black Copper Marans are the oddity, I guess you could say, for US Marans... I beleieve all the others, like Cuckoo and Golden Cuckoo Marans are all clean legged... so is easy to think they should be clean legged too, lol... ;)
All Black Copper Marans in the US should be feather legged if they aren't then they are not considered BCM's... French Standard is feather legged, English Standard is clean legged...
US elected to adopt the French Standard for Black Coppers...
New people aren't excluded, the only limit is 2 pics per person... sorry you're having issues uploading pics... sometimes that happens and it is more related to software recognition than anything...
Do you have this button visible anywhere?
