Hi, will try and answer your questions. Some Marans in all colors will hatch without feathers on the legs, just breed this female to a wheaten male with heavy foot feathers and problem solved.

The female has a little too much wheaten that is overly dark but will work ok in a breeding pen and should produce some nice males if bred to a nice wheaten male.

The type looks very nice from what I can see. Don

Randy, I agree with you breed her to a male a little on the lighter side. If anyone has time look on ebay and most of the wheaten are colored like this pullet. I sure would breed her looking to get some nice males from the mating. Her wheaten is much to dark to show but we have to have something to breed to get the show fowl. Don

Randy, I think a female colored like this wheaten would produce some males that would have less of a chance of having white in the tail coverts. The only color not showing up is the cream bottom half.

Everyone take a look at the nice lacing and feather shafting on the back. Very nice. Don
