Are my new pullets really copper black morons?

[D and J Chicks]

I recently received 4 pullets and they are suppose o be black and blue copper morons, however they all have white feathers at the bottom part of their wings. What do you think they were crossed with?

I don't have Marans (or morons. Did spellcheck play a nasty trick on you?) but all of my Australorp and many other solid black chicks (my crossbreds) do develop white feathers right at the bottom of their wings when they get their first feathers. It usually straightens itself out by the end of the second or third moult.

EDT: I don't have any good pictures, so I pulled this one off of the internet. Is this what you're seeing?

I get a kick out of how autocorrect changes the word marans on everyone - kinda tells you what word people text often enough for it to think what you meant

Yes BCM can and often have 1 or 2 white feathers at the bottom of the wing that usually molt out. If the legs are gray with pink under the feet then probably marans. Yellow in them - not marans. Pictures would help.

I have a 3/4 week copper maran and she has just gotten some white feathers on her wing, so I wouldn’t worry.

Use the 'upload a file' blue button right next to the 'post reply' button. It will guide you through it.
