Marans ?

Okay I will have to say that I have never seen a blue Birchen Maran before, so I am not sure if this is one or not. I do find it quite pretty though, and just had to bring it home. I got what was claimed to be a hen and a rooster, and I noticed they have fuzzy feet like a silkie. oh and I grabbed a mixed breed that was a cutie as well.. Let me share some pictures..

the rooster... which I believe is a black copper maran ??? fuzzy feet??

here's the rooster and the olive egger and either one of my australops or something else..lol

Yep, those are Marans and indeed Black Copper, the Blue Birchen, hard to say, it could be a solid blue too, you'd have to wait.

The Black Copper "boy" may be a girl though.

True French Marans are supposed to have feathered legs like you see.

That is great news!! I wouldn't complain if the boy was really a girl either.

Can you feather sex these like sex links?

Also yes I felt silly , when I first brought them home and mixed them in with my australop chicks I couldn't tell the difference until I saw the fuzzy feet. They all have fuzzys... I think it's neat
