New roo- what breed?

[LuvMyRoo]

Hi all- A friend of mine gave me this friendly guy and I am wondering what he is? I am thinking BCM but wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks!

Looks like Marans

Black Copper Marans.

i agree w/ the others

Great, that is what I thought too and was hoping He has not started crowing yet, any idea how old? Thanks!

Looks to be about 14 weeks maybe?
I'd also guess Marans (white legs are a good sign). But not sure what flavor of Marans he is. Are there any feathers coming out on his legs?

Okay I'm confused.. Aren't Marans supposed to have feathered legs? :/

I think most breeders do want feathered legs but it is hard to get the feathered legs on a marans so only about 25% of marans have feathered legs

Where did you get that information?

I dont know how many have feathered shanks but I do know the french come in feathered shanks and there are others that dont have feathered shanks, just like some have greyish black legs while others have white legs
