Is this a black copper maran rooster

[Frazzemrat1]

Yes his legs are yellowish

And his ear lobes?
Agree with Eggsighted, Marans should have white legs.

Here are pictures up close of feet and ears

interesting that I can't even see the ear lobes. What color are they?

With that yellow color, I'm thinking this is a cross.

Cross with a redish breed ????

I’ll go see him again for the lobes

Funny, I can't see his lobes at all.

But with yellow legs... 100% I will go with NOT pure Marans. I can see how it would be easy for someone to think that though... without a trained eye...

Before one year old they get the label cockerel or pullet. After that is when they become hen or rooster, technically. And for people who show, rooster is not an accepted term. Then it is simply cock.

He is still handsome.

I was also referencing the person who sold you the bird... Giving THEM the benefit of the doubt.

I noticed the legs, but thought it was the lighting. But I have to agree, not pure Marans.

eta - leg feathering looks decent

Oh right I wonder if it could be like a defect or something like that took
