I picked up 15 chicks from the farm store and have questions about a few, but perhaps separate threads would be easier?
Anyway, this little fluffer is supposed to be a Mystic Majestic Marans from the feed store, sold as a sexed pullet. 8 wks old tomorrow. I have 2 MMM and one is classic black coloring of the breeds photos and no doubt is a pullet. But the little blue gray one is a mystery. 'She' came out of the same brooder and there weren't supposed to be other breeds in there, though there were other blues.
These are my first marans, so I really don't know what to expect except what I've learned here and there online. But the blue chick has a beard and is significantly bigger than most of the other chicks. So I am also a little worried 'she' could be a 'he' too. If so, he has a great chance to be the keeper cockerel, because of a great, somewhat standoffish but mellow temperment so far.
Thanks in advance for any guesses.
