this is my 1st attempt with this line, my other birds usually show more white, I'm planning on keeping good records to see what the differences will be.

My BCM eggs hatched yesterday, 6 out of 9 hatched... not to bad for shipped eggs [/IMG]eggs

comb sprig look at the bottom right hand corner of the comb and you will see it

I have a newbie question! I'm new to the world of Orpingtons & am fascinated with the Chocolates & the Mottled! so let me see if I'm understanding this correctly? if I have a chocolate mottled male can I breed him to a pure chocolate and my F1 will be chocolate split to mottling? and then if I...

thanks for the input! so just to clarify are u saying that people get Wheaten & BC cocks mixed up because they look so similar? I've seen multiple discussions were people believe they are breeding true BC Marans yet they are having Wheaten chicks hatch?

I don't have any wheaten Marans in my flock right now. I sold them off several years ago when I wanted to focus more on my Wheaten Ameraucana. I got to thinking & maybe it's possible that people crossed BC to wheaten to darken the Wheatens egg color? I'm in the process of Adding Silver...

what pictures would you like to see?

Thanks for your thoughts! I don't actually have any BM that are throwing wheaten chicks but I'm on a lot of forums & FB pages for Marans & it seems as though people are breeding what they believe to be true pure BM but then occasionally a yellow chick hatches out... what I'm curious about is...

what's the point of crossing wheaten & BC?

hi all! I don't post on here much, I tend to be more of a lurker but I will say that I have learned a ton from reading what you all post and the pictures that you share! I've had Marsns for about 5 years but feel like I'm just starting to understand the breed but with that said I still have...

nevermind, just found it!

Can either of you point me in the right direction to find this thread? I've been searching but not having much luck...

I seem to get a lot of cockerel with shorter backs, if it's all I have can I cross it on a hen with a longer back to improve my offspring?

he came from a gal in Vancouver WA who has a small flock, I bought 6 hatching eggs from her & got 5 Roos & a pullet but she didn't make it, he was the only splash & the only one I kept

does anyone with a knowledgeable eye care to give me a critique, the good and the bad, on this Cock ?

thank you for the critique, I'm always trying to learn! This is not a bird I was planning on using for breeding my BCM hens with, I was really just curious as to what causes the color variation? I'm trying to figure out what causes the back feathers to be gold instead of copper? I've never...

no, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear, I was referring to the way his back is colored, the feathers in that area are not copper but more of a gold color, he also has 1 stray gold saddle feather?

Can anyone tell me why this happened? this Roo is about 9 months old, Im sorry if its been discussed before, I have been reading through old post but have not been able to read all 12000!
