OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! Sorry about the posts.....system being weird this morning!
I only hit the submit button once....that was weird!

Hoping a moderator sees this and deletes the unnecessary posts.

stuff happens...

but I agree, how on earth could this hen be a gcm... just reporting what i was told. go figure...

Pink I think you just wanted us to KNOW that bird was not a GCM

I posted Gabbard farms about that gcm listing on ebay and they wrote back insisting this hen is a golden cuckoo marans... weird

Ummmmm......yeah. No way is this bird a Marans. You can't call a bird a Marans simply because it's in the Marans pen.

YOU ARE HILARIOUS!!! But They do at least have feathered legs, perhaps that makes them a Marans. Yellow feathered legs even.

This rooster is a product of my Golden Cuckoos. As a chick he looked like a splash. Before I decide to re-home him, can anyone offer any educated feedback on his color and whether or not he would be useful in my GCM breeding program?

Oh I love this guy. I hatched out two last spring both roos but lost them to a group of Opossum kits.I was anxious to grow them out so I was very disappointed..

They are splash goldens, mine actually came from a Standard roo and a black cuckoo x bcm hen. I would take that guy in a minute, he is pretty cool looking!! I would think of all kinds of ways to experiment with him and different hens!!

I wouldn't use him in a GC program I think there would be too much white showing in his sons.

It is a golden campine. If you do a search it comes up with that same picture on the internet.

I only figured it out because some posted some on a swap thread and I thought that is the same bird on the cuckoo thread. She must have pulled that picture from the internet.

You can even see her clean blue legs. Look at these chamois campine they are cool.

But still not Marans.
