Still Not Sure of Breed 🤔

[Aunt Angus]

I got beautiful little Marigold here from Meyer as an assorted Rare Breed. She's about 2 weeks old. I was thinking Cuckoo Maran, but her legs are so darn dark...

I'll pull up the list of possible breeds in a sec.

She's a Cuckoo Marans!

Ok. That's what others have said. I thought they had pinkish legs. Will they lighten as she gets older? Or am I mixing up my leg colors?

They look right. Pullets often have a dark cast on them

Awesome! Thanks!

Do they lay dark brown Maran eggs, too? I am completely unfamiliar with this breed (obviously - haha!).

 

[Aunt Angus]

Love this girl! Great attitude and pretty little face! Just not really all that rare of a breed... lol

Agree with CM!

New development: yellow coming in on her neck/shoulders. I can't get it to show up in any pics, but here's where it's coming in:

Is that normal for CM? Sorry for all the dumb questions. I am THE WORST at remembering breed traits. Trying to learn.

Emphasis on "trying."

Got it as best I could. See the brown/red feathers in there? Is she just a poor quality CM? Makes zero difference to me. Just curious.
