What breed and gender is my chicken?

[annaclare06]

I have a one month old chicken and I’m not sure what breed he/she is. Maybe an Australorp? It is beginning to develop gold colored feathers on its neck. Any ideas?
It also has feathered feet.

Maybe also a copper maran. Any ideas?

 

[ChickenDoctor145]

Could be a copper maran, probably not an Australorp because of the gold coming in

 

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Could be a Blue Copper Marans. Where did you get this chick from?

 

[annaclare06]

We got them from a friend who hatched chicks and didn’t need them anymore.

 

[annaclare06]

Could it possibly be a French Black Copper Maran?

Could it possibly be a French Black Copper Maran?

No. A Black Copper Marans would be black with some red in the hackles.

 

[annaclare06]

Oh I see now do you know what else it might be if not a French copper maran?

What color are the bottom of its feet? Marans should be white/pink.

 

[annaclare06]

They are a whiteish color. Can marans have feathered feet? Mine has a small amount of feathers on its feet.
