Hard to see that second comb, but it looks nothing like my Carnation combs. Looks more like a Pea Comb type of comb?? Can you get a better pic?

Yeah- I would have guessed him to be an Olive Egger with a comb like that.

Could someone tell me if this is a Marans? It was sold to the girl I got her from as one but she didn't think so because of the gold neck.
Someone awhile back on another thread said she was a crele (?). She's pretty good sized, the same size as my other 5 mo old Marans and the same age also. I don't care what she is, I'd just like to know.

You'll probably get some input in the morning....I have No idea...Golden Cuckoo?

I got my answer on the other thread

She can't be a Marans because she has yellow legs and not white. Even Marans mixes have white legs, he said, because it's a dominant gene. Interesting , huh?

I agree. While she may have some Marans in her, she isn't pure. The markings on her breast isn't a barring either, it's more like lacing. Yellow legs, yellow beak, and looks like white ear lobes, are other indicators. She's a pretty girl though.

Just some food for thought. We have mixed Marans show up on the forum on a regular basis. So where Marans are concerned his statement is not accurate.
