Copper Maran pictures

[Heather67]

I’m looking at some Copper Marans tomorrow but I’m not sure what I’m going to look at are Marans. Could someone post a picture of some Pullets for me to refer too? These are the pictures the guy sent me. Thank you!

The two light gray ones MIGHT be blue copper marans but the rest are NOT copper marans. The black and white ones might be birchen marans but probably not. I don't know what the brown ones are but those are not marans. Marans have slate grey legs and feet, not yellow. Here's 3 babies around that age and size. This is two black copper marans and one blue copper.

Look for feathers on the legs and outer toes as well.

Thank you! I dont know much about the breed so I wanted to make sure before I went out to look at the birds.

Here's another pic of the blue copper baby with mama looking sassy. As adults the black copper are solid black with brown/copper around the neck. Single comb. As chicks the feet may be pinkish but it usually darkens to slate as they grow older.

Some people are telling me the black ones might be cuckoo Marans?

Which ones? I thought the black and white were Barrred Rock?

Nope. Those are cuckoo marans. You can see the pink feathered legs
