hello all I'm just wondering if this hen looks like a pure breed blue marans hen she has a few light gray feathers left over from her molt if y'all would let me know what you think thanks

Pretty eggs, like yours some of my marans lay real dark and some lay lighter ones, but they all taste nummey, and sure dress up those clear egg cartons I use, and people do pay more $ for the dark ones.

thank you! we haven't had one yet! was waiting to get more! they are little still, we now have 7 or 8! Sunday breakfast for sure!
