Sex Link or Copper Maran?

[Cshafer12]

Black Sex Link...I'm seeing yellow undertones on the feet...Marans have pinkish-white undertones on the feet, between the toes, with grey legs.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

I have seen plenty of sex links that look very much like Black Copper Marans.

The yellow feet is a great catch LofMc.

My Marans are feather legged. But I breed to the French standard. Some do not. Does the hatchery you ordered from even have Marans available? Anyways, still should be good birds.

Yes they do, why I was confused looking at them! The biggest thing was they looked so similar even though they were very different in size. Ah well, sex links it is

Marans couple of days old , however the pink toes and the white under belly and the prominent comb suggest that one or more might be mixed . But that is just a guess. There are however clean legged Marans I don't have any but there are .

Double checked this morning and found two with feathered legs! They were so very tiny it took some effort, so I guess marans it is!!! Thank you everyone!
