I meant the shank feathering color.

 

[geebs]

IT is fuzz colored... Not much to speak of...no not... Not yellow.. off whitish.. Why?? ?What is the thing with yellow??? Are they supposed to be??? I am only a BCM's girl...

Debbi: http://www.backyardpoultry.com/forum_pics/originsofmarans.pdf I found the site that lists all the breeds that likely makeup the marans.

No, just a curious thing for me. I have no clue what color it should be on the different varieties. I do know when they come in tan/yellow on the BCM (like the one I had in the first clutch), they are not present when they get older, in fact, there are no shank feathers at all. Not enough proof for sure, as it only happened to me with one chick, but would be interested to know if anyone else found this to be true?

Jan~ I found this photo of a Golden Salmon on feathersite.....still trying to locate a photo of a Silver Blue Salmon (like trying to find a needle in the haystack ya know?)

Imagine this bird being blue everywhere it is the orangy rust color and the neck being silver instead of gold.
