I have a little Marans chick that I was told is a splash - in fact, that is it in my avatar. It was silver gray when it hatched. Now it is about 5 weeks old and it is pure white. Is this right? Was it really white and not splash? Or will it change to 2 colors later? It was supposed to be a Black Copper Marans according to the egg seller. Is it at all possible that it is the offspring of two BCMs?

This is it at about a week old. I will try to get a current picture, but it's pretty camera shy! Pure white - very pretty, but I was not expecting this.




Of course, I will know for sure in about 3 months, but I want to know NOW! I have no patience!
