New chicks - which French Marans?

Recommended Posts

Sorry luvachicken thought I made it public and thanks Egluntyne for making it clickable I must master it I thought if I grabbed the code from flickr it would work also I have just worked out you can add photos to flickr from an ipad easily so am giving it a go.

We hatched some mixed eggs of welsummers, copper black marans and cuckoo marans, our broody hatched one marans and one hatched in the incubator they look different so I'm presuming we've got one of each I'm presuming the bigger one with the more yellow underneath is the cuckoo and the other copper black, can anyone tell me if this is right?

the cuckoo maran I hatched last year was black with a whitish spot on his head. the copper black should have feathered legs if they're pure or nearly pure I've got a French maran cross hen some of her off spring have feathered legs some don't she runs with a TNN plus her dad was a Welsummer so the genes get a bit thinned out in the crosses

Thanks luvachicken I've planted more pots this year to disguise the runs and OH is currently making a new one for the new chicks.

 

Thanks SJP both have feathery legs but one is blacker with white underneath the other is more fluffy with yellowish underneath neither have a head spot so I'll have to wait and see, they're quite cute though but I think the welsummers are all males.

It would be nice to see your pots when you are done. It's always nice to have ideas for chicken gardens - not that mine get to come out.

Is your OH making a nice pot for the chicks or a new run :lol: I'm guessing a new run - lucky chicks.

Would love to see it all anyway xx
