Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

[1stACT]

Here is my quandary... I ordered blue splash marans eggs. What hatched was a 1 blue splash, 1 blue copper, 1 cuckoo, and the following_ any idea?











These pictures are from last summer so he's a full grown rooster now, with very good temperament. His legs are white and lightly feathered. So, any ideas??
Thanks!!

I remember someone else here on BYC posted a picture of a rooster similar to your guy and I think they said it was a splash from a copper breeding that had bleed over of copper......but don't quote me on that. I can't remember who it was....DCChicken maybe??..., but it was on one of the Marans threads

Apparently so. Looks like you have one! Not recognized by ABA, FBI, CIA or NASA. (NSA declined to comment). Congress is forming a study group. First they have to pass the Chicken Tax to fund it.

It's an uphill battle on the Chicken tax. The Dems are all for it, but thinks the government should subsidize it, 'cuz they need the votes.
The GOP is fighting for GPS chipping of all newborn chicks, to make sure nobody cheats.
The Tea Party is fighting beak and nails against any new taxes.
The Libertarians are sitting this one out, they all moved to Nicaragua.
Homeland security is seeking funding for chicken nets and cages, and "leather-look" hobnailed rubber boots.
The CIA is looking for chicken interpreters.
