Fur 'n' Feathers Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Our new Maran Cuivree Pitsilatha had marks on her legs when we got her. On closer inspection last week it turned out to be little hairy bits that make her legs look freckly from a distance. Today on closer inspection she now has a number of tufts of feathers where the hairy bits were. Will these disappear as she matures, or will she need to wax in the future?

Redwing Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 French Marans have feathery legs, if they arent feathery they are very often fluffy Perfectly normal, let the lady be au natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Mmmmh! So we have some French blood in the camp then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Most Marans blood is from France and true French Marans will have full on feathery legs, I have a beautiful French Copper Black Marans and she has proper feathery legs like a Pekin It makes sense that marans hybrids and the English Marans will often throw up one with fluffy legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
