Is this a Marans chick?

Looks like one to me.......... Single comb and feathered legs?

 

[CarolinaHen]

Yes, single comb and feathered legs. What a great " mystery chick"! Thanks!

OH... I got a few pics of my Splash roo that is growing out. Not sure what if anything I am going to do with him. He has a little bit of copper on his hackles and wings. He is still young.... also the low man on the totem pole in that pen. My Splash LRW roo is HUGE next to him and they are the same age. I AM keeping the Wyandotte for sure LOL

Ignore the mess

I have never seen his tail angle. He was living in the nest box prior to this move inside. He was hiding from the other 2 roos. His comb points have some ODD serrations like on every point. Never seen that before. I might not breed him because of that. He has nice feathered legs and I like his coloring. He is from Pinks Roo.



This guy is his sire.

Nice Pretty boy .. love that color.. I hope he lives up to his genes

I want to get me a splash roo..

I had four mystery chicks in with several EE's that I got at a chicken swap. They were in a box of "assorted" chicks. I love mystery chicks!

These are two of my Marans eggs. That dirty one came from a new layer who just didn't make it to the box. Busy with new hatches and a few new acquisitions. Trying to keep up with my threads but.... too many things in the Spring to keep track of.

may I ask who laid the blue ones?

Are Marans eyes supposed to be yellow or brown? I have 2 with brown eyes and the rest have yellow eyes so I'm hoping that yellow is correct otherwise I'm in trouble, lol.




















It was such a nice day out yesterday that I needed to take some pics, here's a few of my Marans out and about.
