Cuckoo Marans or Blue Cuckoo Marans?

[JenniMcChick]

Gosh, chicks grow FAST! Here "she" is at 4 weeks. Comb is still pretty small (same as if not slightly smaller than her Cream Legbar pullet of the same age). Its posture is somewhat upright, I suppose, but I'm not sure if this is just a Marans thing. I've also read Marans boys tend to show their male traits earlier. We shall see...

Update on this baby? I have one now that looks a lot like yours did back then!
Have a current pic? Did yours turn out to be roo or pullet?

Yes, she is a beautiful Blue Cuckoo Marans pullet! I will grab a pic later today.

Mimi is a great chicken! She is super sweet and quiet but tends to hang near the bottom of the pecking order. She has laid just about every day since she started about 3 weeks ago. Her eggs, as you can see, are not chocolate brown. For that, I'd need to get a Black Copper Marans. But I will say, her eggshells are flawless--perfectly smooth and a beautiful satin sheen. I just love our Mimi.

My Barnevelders lay beautiful, satin sheen eggs every time. I know what you mean, just pretty

Ooh, I've had my eyes on Barnevelders! They're on my wish-list the next time we add to our flock.

I love mine. They are my most healthy, beautiful chickens. They aren't the most prolific layer and mine tend to go broody, but their eggs are so pretty and consistent.
