Black marans Orpington something or other?

[Birdsandbrees]

So what I was told, was that she was some mix, black cooper marans, blue black Orpington... but I am curious about her gold color, where does that come From? Anyway, just kind of fun to see what people think she actually is!

The leakage is from the bcm if the mix is correctly identified.
What color are feet bottoms? Clean or feathered shanks?

Her feet are dark, not completely black but a good amount. She’s got feathers on her feet

That’s a great question. I don’t know for sure lol. My guess is she’s around 8 weeks give or take a week.

The bottoms of the feet, fleshy pad and skin between toes should be white, yellow, etc.....in birds with heavily washed/tinted legs this is an easy place to see true skin color which is key in differentiating breeds

That's about what I would've guessed. Is her comb usually that pink?

Her comb is much more yellow in person than it looks in that picture. Her teeny little wattles are starting to pink up though and so is the very base of her comb. But still yellow on top

Bottoms have yellow to it underneath the dark wash
