How old are these marans?

[Smartie_Pants]

I got two cuckoo marans pullets in October. When I got them they were already totally feathered out, but I didn't get an age. How old do you think they are?

how do you tell a difference between a dominique a Partridge Rock or a maran im not sure lol mine looks like that but they say its a dominique but i dont have a cmaera to show her

I know! LOL! She would never harm the chickens though. Its so funny here. We have a HUGE dog house, I can go all the way in and lay down, heck I can set in it and my head doesn't touch the celeing. Anyway, my ten year old beagle sleeps in there every night with a handicapped cat. One of my roosters only "likes" the ducks, and at any time if you go outside you will find a pile of chickens, cats, dogs, and no telling what else sleeping together!

Quote:
Partridge Rock looks nothing like a barred bird.

Dominique: Rose comb, yellow legs, barring is uneven.
Cuckoo Maran: Single comb, white legs.
Barred Rock: Single comb, yellow legs.

They look to be about 6-7 months old.

Back to the original question. Are the CMs laying?

They are not laying, but their faces have reddened up quite a lot in the past couple of weeks.
