So what is it? Is it a brown leghorn? What has white ear lobes and yellow legs and some color on the chest?
I haven't seen anything like that before..... Is it a mix from where something jumped the fence?

 

[stoopid]

No, silly. It's a Maran. That's what the ad says. And if it's on Craigslist, it must be good....

Or maybe the fingers mixed up the O with A.
All newbies please see the post above,

and agree you need to do research before you and your money get taken.

Hi everyone. Hope all are doing well. Just popped in to say that I am so excited for my little marans.... the littles have been outside (rather then the brooder) in a little pen every day and I have been luring them to eat out of my hands (clover) and so far the two pullets are doing great. Working on their trust.... the little roo Cowboy is a scardy cat though lol I have found that the pullets are very forward and the roos are skiddish- is this what you all have noticed within your flocks? Or is it just my birds... I have noticed this with two hatches now. The roos are the important ones to get you to trust them- at least that is my opinion. I have little kids running around with the birds and I want to be sure the roos who are around are safe to have around with kids.

I must say ... I agree with the "clean" part. My Marans are obsessively clean.

(Those yellow legs are a bit of a concern, however ....)

I can try. My guys free range so it's sometimes difficult to follow them for long without sending them scurrying or catching them in a quiet moment. Any particular angles that would be helpful? Above, front, rear?
