2 or three years. She’s a friend’s hen.

Older hens can loose pigmentation, like my comets. I suspect that she is just an older barred rock. Once she molts, she could get some pigments back in her beak and feet.

Cuckoo marans have white legs, tend not to lay as dark as black copper marans, and dont get feathered legs

Cuckoo marans can have feathered legs, though the clean legged variety may be more common in cuckoos than black coppers.

Are Cuckoo marans even recongized in the APA?

I don’t think so, but I could be wrong.
