What lovely 'beetle-wing' feathers she's got. -
Now there's a beautiful lass! Let's hope she doesn't take to crowing - she might think it's expected of her!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Her legs are pale Shirl...She's definitely a maran, and I'm pretty confident she's a girl!Originally posted by shirlthegirl43 View Post
I'm 99.9% sure she's not this time...but, I could be wrong. She's being picked on a little bit...but nothing bigtime. She'll be fine!Originally posted by Hans Mum View Postshe's a lovely looking girl Beph hope she settles in well and doesnt turn out to be a he

Ooooh she's lovely! I like their copper fronts as much as their blue-black backs.

I'm sure her legs are pale...but she's only a baby, so maybe they'll darken up. The copper has pale legs too...and the lack pale. Eeeek! I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about!!

So I am possibly still right on mine being Australorp - their legs are blue/blackOriginally posted by Bephlam View PostHer legs are pale Shirl...She's definitely a maran, and I'm pretty confident she's a girl! Their feathers are the same blue/green and are ever so soft.
Happy Gardening,

Yeah, I think you could still be right about it. But...who knows...I thought a cockerel was a hen for a whole week, so what do I know??

Australorps do have the beautiful beetle green, shirl. I have a lovely photo of one somewhere. Marans are beetly too though.Originally posted by shirlthegirl43 View PostSo I am possibly still right on mine being Australorp - their legs are blue/black Their feathers are the same blue/green and are ever so soft.

She's beautiful Bephlam...& if my untrained eye offers any reassurance,I'd say you've deffo got a girlie this time!
Sorry if you've already mentioned in another post that I've missed,how did Max do being introduced to his new home?the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

Scrap everything I've said Shirl...they've both got dark legs!! D'oh!!
Oh, apparently he's fine. He spent most of yesterday crowing...then he was introduced to a small group of laydees...apparently he loved that experience.
She said he's settling in fine - can't wait to see what he turns out like!!
