Hello and Welcome to BYC Garry!

Your boy isn't a Marans or an Andalusian. My guess would be a Blue JG if he is purebred. If not, he is a lovely barnyard mix.

Welcome to BYC! He's very very likely a mix. Skin color wrong for a Jersey Giant-should be bright yellow. As for Marans it has the wrong eye color and Andalusian wrong body type and earlobe color. Theoretically he could be a hatchery-quality Blue Orpington or Australorp, but with his leakage (brownish color) these seem unlikely too. Very lovely bird!

Does he have feathers on his feet? When I zoomed in it kind of looked like it to me thats why I thought Maran. I could be sooo wrong though.

No feathers on feet
