Rooster Blue Maran



Splash Maran - not sure what this bird is? The Blue Maran is the brother from the same hatch, clearly a rooster.

It is slow developing and feathering in weird compared to the blue isn't it, with the red coming in on the shoulders though, would vote cockerel.

x2, but dont give up hope... it kinda looks like a hen too...


wow, you have a bunch of roos! That black Ameraucana is absolutely gorgeous! And I see another behind the roo in question. And the blue copper in pic one, I can see his beautiful tail in pic 2.

Both birds look like males.

Both of them are cockerels.

Yes the blue maran is a rooster he was the first to crow. It's the splash I can not figure out!? The blue maran is the bother and same hatch.

I have five roosters in total, the black ameraucana is our favourite, his name is John Wayne. The blue ameraucana is boss hog. Both those are keepers. They are both very beautiful boys

I looked up splash maran hens, and a few roos showed up. I would have to say that the hens are all greyish with black specs, while the roos have those colors.

The splash bird is a cockerel. Pullets of this color won't get the red leakage on the wings.
