What Marans is this?

[FeatherTay]

I just hatched this Marans on 6-16-21 and she is starting to grow white feathers. I was told she was a Black Cooper Marans egg, but I don’t really trust the guy. So is she a BCM and will lose her white feathers? Or some other breed?

Single comb, black and yellow feet, feathered
feet.

Black birds sometimes grow white feathers on the wings their first molt

Looks like a BCM. Super common for black chicks to grow white feathers and then lose them when they molt.

I agree. Also with the leg color, it changes with age some. With little baby chicks it's hard to tell. As long as it has white skin in a couple weeks, I don't see a reason to not think it's a Marans

Does she still look like a marans? 3 months and 5 days now.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Maybe? I don't raise them yer, so I'm not super familiar with them.

Yes!
