Uhh, the breeder is going the wrong route for Salmon Marans then. . . They shouldn't have so much white on them like that. It's as if there's Columbian or Dominant White in there. . .

I have no idea how they are breeding them, I just posted pics of what they said they had

I know they said it was a Salmon Marans so maybe they just didn't know what they were talking about. I know I have no idea of what one looks like. I see the hen pic of them but was there a roo?

On no... feathery legs all the way for me... I jsut don't understand the PCGB rule on having clean shanks, when the original bird was bred in France, and the French poultry club (SCAF) and the MCF demand feathered shanks *sigh*

It does make life very difficult, as I would love to get some stock from the UK, as I trvel there semi-regularly, however I'd have to back cross to French birds to get the leg feathers

Actually the PCGB standard is a little different (apart from the leg feathering) to the French standard... but I prefer the traditional French varieties anyway.
