Any way to tell Cuckoo from Black Copper Maran chick?

[KurtG]

I can tell the blue splash and golden cuckoo in my Meyer order, but hard to figure out who is cuckoo and who is black copper. Thought just the black copper had leg feathering but not sure ??

They both should have leg feathering, but the cuckoo often don't. If both do have leg feathering you can tell in just a couple of weeks as their wing feathers grow in. The cuckoo's will have the barring right away. Hope that helps.

The cuckoo should have a white spot on the top of the head.
