“RARE” breed. PLEASE HELP

[GM916]

Hello! 15 week old “rare” breed from Hoovers hatchery. Was told it’s a type of maran but who knows. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you.

Looks like a black copper marans to me; the one that lays the darkest brown eggs, normally.

I was thinking the same but I keep getting told no because she doesn’t have the feathered legs. I guess I’ll have to wait til she lays.

French variety have feathered legs; uk variety doesn't.

But she's a hatchery bird so standards get poorer the farther you get away from the original stock. They don't ruthlessly cull birds that don't meet breed standards.

It is a olive egger with black copper maran lineage the ear lobe is blue and if you look closely you can see a small muff.

Out of hoovers "rare" assortment she best fits the description of a Prairie Bluebell Egger. This cross breed has a pea comb and white lobes just like your girl
