Hey all! :) our beautiful little Godiva is a mystery to all!! Hoover's Hatchery told us she is a maran of some sort BUT, she has NO feathery legs lol she DOES have ALL black feet/legs/toes/soles.

She is also getting coppery tones on her wing feathers a bit and around her neck a bit. I JUST noticed she may also be getting little wisps of silver like color on the very ends of some feathers. She is a sweet girl but, a complete mystery 😂 thanks!!

Maybe a Midnight Majesty Maran, they don’t all have feathered legs according to the Hoover site. Here is the description from their site-
The Midnight Majesty Maran has black plumage and most hatch with feathered feet, but some do not. Deep browns show up through their down feathering underneath, making them a mix of beautiful dark brown and black plumage

If not then maybe a Black Jersey Giant or Black Australorp?

She looks kind of like my Mystic Marans. All black legs/feet too (though I just realized you can't see them in the picture LOL!)

So, Hoover's Hatchery Messaged me back and said that they talked to their flock manager and he said she is a Midnight Majesty Maran. So, I guess that is what we will go with haha

Anyway to tell how old? 4-5 weeks? She just is so much bigger than our others haha she was already older than the chicks when we got them all but, idk how much older lol
