Marans question...

[TheOddOneOut]

What is the difference between Noir Marans, Midnight Majesty Marans, Dominant Copper Marans, ETC? Googling has not helped me.
Are they all BCM x varieties?

I believe so. You can add to the list Rustic Rambler.

Rustic ramblers are a barred rock x marans cross, so not the same thing.

The list OP had for BCM x varieties.

Midnight majesty marans are a sex-linked cross of cuckoo marans and black copper marans. The other two you listed are either different names for MMMs or different names for rustic ramblers.

I assume that means varieties within the breed.

I assume that means varieties within the breed.

I thought they were asking if they were BCM crosses. Which is why I added Rustic Ramblers to their list.

I did mostly mean that.

Thanks. Good to know about those, too.

Is any one specific x or version more Marans-like? Darker eggs, feathered feet, etc?
