Good to know, thank you.

Do they typically have the brown during molt? That's what threw me off. I've never had a Cuckoo as barring is not a gene I favor.

I have no information on her parents and for all I know, they were mixed as well. Just trying to guess what genetics she might have based on her color. I'm hoping her egg color will narrow it down a smidge.

That's as far as I am with it as well. The person who gave her to me would not give on the notion that she is BCM which I thought might be because she came from a BCM hen. Perhaps her father is a CCL which would explain the brown leakage in the barring as well as giving me an olive egger. I...

I prefer feathered legs. I was just meaning that not having feathered legs has no bearing on whether or not she is marans.

Works for me. I have the stock to make olive Eggers and just haven't gotten with the program yet. I couldn't figure out why he was so set on believing she was BCM but if she came from a BCM hen, he probably didn't think anymore of it. I'm excited to see what she looks like when she's done molting.

Definitely not dirt. She wouldn't be dirty for over a month especially not while molting. I'll see if I can find a feather from her.

The American standard for marans is to be clean legged. No eggs yet, she isn't old enough. She may be after this molt but it will be winter. Do barred rocks have more brown?

This gal was given to me as a BCM... She is molting but barring seems evident though very splotchy. She also isn't black and white. She's sort of light brown on dark brown. Maybe she's an olive egger?
