I've got a friend who rents out a coop that houses Black Copper Marans and an expensive mystery rooster and hen; the rooster covers all the hens in that flock. She also has her own coop with an Olive Egger roo that covers "his" girls which includes some Barred Rocks, Ameraucanas, a blue Marans and some black Marans. They all free range, but stick to their own flocks and coops for egg-laying. I been having a lot of success hatching and wanted to find out if it was worth hatching some of this expensive mystery breed so I got some pictures of the pair. I think they might be legbars based on the pictures I found here. My friend got some eggs from the first coop, where I think just the Marans and the mystery chicken lay, that she said were from the mystery hen. But they're not sky blue. Below are pictures of the roo and hen, and the left two eggs are ones we got straight from the nesting box today - the other three she thought were from the same chicken from earlier days. She said she gets one a day in that coop of this particular egg and since the rest of the hens are Marans, with chocolate eggs, that's how she knew these were from the solo hen.
Anyone have any insight?
