Copper is still feathering with such beautiful copper coloring on her neck! Grey/non feathered feet.

She’s still he biggest and the reddest comb and wattles. Hopefully she’s still going to be an egg layer! Update: Much later we discover Melba is indeed our Head Rooster – and is a cuckoo maran! He has fathered many many of our lucky cluckers barnyard mix chicks! Update: the…
