What breed is my hen?

[Minky]

She doesnt have yellow skin, its pinky white- photos on page 1 of her feet- sort of peach?

If she has white skin, she could very well be Orpington then. Check the bottom of her feet. Easier to tell there.

Feb 24, 2012 · Debi is right, Marans should have feathered shanks. There are Marans that are clean legged and we all get them from time to time. We don't get them very often, but once in a while we have one pop up. Our show standards call for lightly feathered down the outside of the legs

@twisted-acres-farm do you know the average age of a maran, to start laying. My blue maran is still not laying and she is supposed to be 29 weeks old. 5 out of my flock of 7 have been laying for 2 months already, and one other has been laying for the past 2 weeks. But the blue maran is not even squatting yet. thanks

Most of my marans started at 6-7 months

Whatever breed, mix or cross - she is beautiful- I'd be content with that.
