Marans are typically the more common of the white skin/feather-legged breeds. Where were they purchased?

Rural King in Crystal River, Florida. They were listed as Breeders Choice (I believe that’s how they labeled them), so they didn’t know their breed. They are supposed to be pullets, so hoping they were correct on that.

Could be. That extremely upright stance is typical for Langshans.

Do you know what hatchery the store got them from?

I do not and I am sure if I called them they wouldn’t know. It’s been 3 weeks ago now.

Some places get all their birds from one hatchery, others order from multiple hatcheries.

Also, there is usually one person in charge of the chick program. So, if you asked for them they would be more likely to know for sure the one hatchery or the possible hatcheries if they receive from multiple places.

good luck

I'm still betting they're Marans

I agree with this. They look identical to my RK Mystic Marans that are about the same age. We have never seen Langshans at RK. Our RK gets chicks from townline hatchery for the last few years. https://townlinehatchery.com/product/mystic-maran/
