Hi Brenda, thanks for the nice words! I am anxious to see the newsletter as I love to read about our marans and see what the french are saying. I have sent you a message on MOAC about the pics. Chef

removed pictures

Keith are all those pics of the same bird, because the last two pics are what looks to me like a pullet. She looks to have excess copper coming through. Your kid is adorable may I add! Chef

Very nice Brenda! Looks like you are getting that brinsea dialed in? I have lots of eggies in the bator right now and hoping for lots of xmas babies. Wishing you luck with all the little fuzzy butts Do you use a fishtank as a brooder? Just curious because they work good for me. Chef

LMAO! Thank you all for the kind words! Tell you what if you can get past the dogs then they're yours I am going to test eggs from the splash so hopefully after the first of the year I will have eggs available. Plenty of work to be done! Chef

Ok here are a couple of pics of my splash and blue copper boys and a splash pullet. Sorry not the best pics. Still have work to do on the blue copper but I think the splash pair is looking pretty good. Pullet lays a decent egg. Chef

60acres... Coming from my untrained eye I think Sid is a VERY good looking specimen! From the pics it looks to me like he has most of the attrributes of what we are looking for. I am having a hard time finding any faults on him. Would be nice to see a front pic but I would say for sure you got a...

Thank you Brenda! I agree that he does have a little to much yellow but he is still pretty young. I will wait till he moults and see if he gets the rest of the copper we are looking for. I would like to get some critique on my blue copper I have coming up as well. I will get those pics up asap...

Ok I took some pics of a cockerel I held back as I thought he looked OK. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! Chef

The reason I was asking is because I remembered reading this is in the french standard which says, Comb: simple, of an average size, with a fairly rough texture. Sharp edges. The lobe not touching the nape. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I am still in that curve but isnt the "lobe" the...

Hey 3chickens do you have any more pics of your roo maybe a little closer up? Just curious to see his comb a little better. Thanks. Mike

Not sure why you thinks it's complicated? If I understand this correctly the BC Marans were expected to be accepted at this meet right? It just so happened that the APA changed some rules and made it to where you need to have two meets that have the required amount of quality birds to be...

Results are in. The Black coppers did not get approved by the APA at the Illinois show. Still work left to do. Maybe nextime Chef

Thank you. I would have to agree with those interpretations. Chef

Quote: Could you give me your definition of parsimonious please? Chef

Quote: That's great. What'll be the recommendation on getting that "parsimonious red spotting on the breast" that the French standard calls for? That one kinda stumps me -- how to reliably get the required spotting without getting excessive red, or without getting lacing. ETA: Krys, the...

Quote: Thanks Brenda! I cant wait to see this newsletter. My life is just full of anticipation these days I aslo can see some red in his breast. Thanks again David for clarifying these things for us. I know I will get it "straight" from you. I can see now that I have THINGS to work on with...

Now that is a STUNNING bird! Chef

David... thank you for clarifying that for us! Your input is greatly appreciated. Chef
