Not many people could tell me about my Marans on the "what breed/gender is this" post, so I thought I might check in here. I have 2 white Marans that I hatched from eggs from a breeder.
They look very different to me and I was hoping someone on here might be able to tell me more. We do not plan on showing or breeding them (except to have more layers). Just a fun backyard flock for the kids.
Here is our fella Leroy who we would like to keep as our main rooster from those that have hatched.
And here is the other one. We thought she was a pullet and now we are thinking he is a cockerel at 12 weeks old.
Here is a full body shot of her, you can see Leroy in the background.
She/He has 1/2 webbed (or at least I think that is what it is called) feet. And her legs and beak are white/pink, not yellow like Leroys. She/He also has long back tail feathers like our other pullets her age where as Leroy has hardly any.
Any information or thoughts on these two birds would be greatly appreciated.
