Quote: You know I think this is true. I've had a couple of my fowl sitting and I'm finding eggs all over the place from the rest of the crew. And thanks for the point system and the additional info! I'm learning so much here. Now if I can just find a few chicken shows to attend to see how...

A warm welcome to the other new eggs here! Hey does anyone know if the breed standard on the Marans Club Of America is official yet (for Black Coppers)? Is there anywhere where they assign point values? I think it was the Aussie standard that I found online, it was like 30 or 40 points for...

Quote: Thanks Debbi, that gives me an excuse to buy a nice camera!

Oh and hi Arizonachicken! I'm in Chino Valley, AZ! I just found out I have breast cancer so I might be heading your way to check out treatment centers, surgeons etc.

Thanks Debbi! I'd really like to breed mostly for egg color, BUT, the idea of keeping a bunch of substandard roosters around and trying to track out several generations from multiple roosters is daunting to me -- especially if I decide to show at some point -- which is a possibility. Nothing...

Okay now that we're on page 1777 I have some serious reading to do... but in the meantime... I have one adult rooster that I ADORE, and then I hatched out four more roos from eggs I bought this year (he didn't sire these, fortunately.) I'm not crazy about any of their looks. I'm tempted to...

Seabreeze, your roo is gorgeous! I like him a lot!

Quote: Thanks! I'll check them out. Not quite tropical here but my master bath has now become a greenhouse! Do you have a website or a page on here somewhere for your Marans?

Wow! Thanks everyone! flgardengirl, anytime one of your girls wants to take a vacation in Arizona, send her my way. I'm sure Chappy wouldn't mind too much. I'll try to get another shot of him tomorrow. I won't even bother to try to photograph my poor hens -- I have too many roosters right...

Quote: Hi Seabreeze, I'm new here and a total computer retard, but this is what I did: hit your "reply" button to start your post, then hit "Uploads" from up above by the BYC Forum header. That will open a new screen. Hit "choose file" and pick out your picture, and then hit "submit." It...

Here's my boy Chappy! He's almost 8 months old. Anyone care to tell me the positive and negative things about him, other than the wild feather in his tail that is sticking out? I know the pics aren't great -- I had a heck of a time keeping my SPOILED fowl out of my face long enough to snap...

AWESOME!! Those eggs are gorgeous! Say, I see you're a tropical plant freak -- where do you go, do you order online? Who is your favorite online nursery?

Hi everyone -- I'm new here and wasn't sure where to post -- feel free to refer me to the right spot but here goes: I've been trying to read some of this thread and was quickly overwhelmed. If you have Black Copper hens that feather out PURE black, but otherwise have nicely feathered shanks...
