I wish that was the case, but he has never had any feathers to pluck. He did not even have baby tail feathers. I have watched him closely and none of the other chickens are missing tail feathers. I guess I knew he was not right. Thank you for your help. I really needed a second opinion.
I bought 4 marans chicks about 6 or 7 months ago. 3 had the beautiful feathered legs and one was clean shanked. Unfortunately the clean shanked wound up being my only hen. I thought that's ok, English standard is clean. I only want a dark egg. She has very little copper on her neck. I'm beginning to feel maybe a got a cross. She started showing cooper a couple weeks ago but it is very little. How long does it take for the cooper color to come in completely? Still crossing my fingers.
Some never show copper but they are still Black Copper Marans if the parents were pure. Clean shanks does not indicate she is a cross, but lots of other things do.
