2 Hens..Marans and Game? Help!!!

[drfarm]

Hi any help is appreciated

Hen 1 came as 1 of 3 bl.splash marans chicks.other 2 are, but this one (blue feathered legs, tiny straight comb, and very gentle)?
Hen 2 (dark) is a blue legged game. I would like to know what strain or line she could be? (docile w/ me for a game, most of the body feathers are penciled, dark skin wherever visible)

Thanks for any help you can give. Smiles!!

Looks like a American Game or American Game cross..
She could be a variety of American Game known as "Hatch".......
There so many strains and lines out there it would be hard to say. Every good breeder has his/her own strain and line..
You said she is Penciled? Could it be that she is Laced?

I'm sorry, but hen 1 is not a Marans. She has the slate legs of a White Langshan.

What is the difference between 'penciled' & 'laced'? pictures if available please, I am a 'visual learner'
